Explain the Dietary diversification - Iron Deficiency Anaemia?
It aims to ensure that deficient populations have access to foods rich in iron and also foods rich in vitamin C (since vitamin C helps the body absorb iron). Since the deficiencies of micro nutrients are common, what is needed is a strategy, which is self- sustaining, and provides multiple nutrients at a cheaper cost to the needy population. Home gardening and horticulture is an important strategy, which could be easily adopted by the population to whom raising gasdening is a daily practice. It does not require large area and, in fact, an area, which calls accommodate two cots, is more than adequate to produce nutritious foods for an average family. The advantages of horticulture approach are that it does not require external help and improves the household nutrition security.
