Advocates for food and nutrition issues propose that the government include the nutrition element in the education curriculum to ensure that learners are exposed to nutrition issues at an early stage.

According to Susan Aketcho, an educationist and a member of the Nutrition Society of Uganda, introducing nutrition issues at an early stage of learning will be a milestone towards achieving future nutrition specialists but also playing a big role in the field of awareness creation.

She says that among the issues that need to be prioritized include reviving school gardens and clubs that promote nutrition among learners.
