Human nutrition describes the processes of obtaining and use of necessary nutrients from foods to maintain structural and functional integrity of our body. The state of under-nourishment results in micronutrient and macronutrient deficiencies which affect the health, agricultural productivity, educational performance and socio-economic development of a country.
Undernutrition is high in Ethiopia and has been affecting the socio-economic development of the country. The government of Ethiopia identified undernutrition to be among the important action areas for national development and Ministry of Agriculture has been engaged in implementing nutrition sensitive interventions to contribute for improving nutrition of the population of the country.
