A model for the promotion of consumption of locally available indigenous vegetables among primary school children

Abstract

The model developed for this study proposes that, for the promotion of locally available indigenous vegetables within the primary school setting, the following critical issues should happen: i) a medical approach should be in place; ii) education or correct information should be provided; iii) behavioural change should be enabled; iv) empowerment should be provided, and v) societal enhancement should be encouraged. Furthermore, it suggests that the promotion of the consumption of locally available vegetables among primary school children can be achieved when the identified stakeholders work together.
