MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Malawi has for a long time strived to achieve food security at country and household level albeit with little success. Policies and strategies adopted over time have inadvertently violated the Constitutional Obligation of right to food for each citizen. The consequences have been dire as more than half of the entire population barely find something to eat with no regard to personal nutritious requirements or exposure to toxins and other harmful substances. These problems would have been sorted out through the enactment of the Food and Nutrition Bill which has stalled for over twenty years. Malawi will fail to achieve SDG 2 if the status quo persists. Time to act is now. This requires a multifaceted approach and unison.
