| Description: |
Matoe village_ Margaret Nkusouna poses for a portrait. My name is Margaret Nkusouna , I’m married . I work as agricultural extension development coordinator since 2014 In the Matoe village we’ve undertaken place several initiatives, there are now 3 hectares of irrigated land, 15 farmers received 5 goats each and keeping them in a standard collar they can collect manure to fertilise their land, in 2/3 years we should have restored the fertility of the soil that now is really impoverished. At the beginning we just emphasised the production part but we later found that in this village despite farmers were producing enough quantity and variety of food their children were still facing malnutrition because of the way they prepare food, so that’s why we propose to establish a group here to teach how to prepare various dishes with the food they are producing. In most cases just little improvement were necessaries in order to combine all nutrients in their diet . Especially this year that the production of maize was really low because of the drought, we emphasise that they shouldn't rely only on maize flour , they should also know how to cook sweet potatoes, cassava and banana, how to prepare dishes with it that they can eat for lunch in substitution of Nsima (traditional food) |
