Abstract

With the goal of sustaining a pleasant, active, and healthy lifestyle, one must consume sufficient nutrition to fulfil their dietary requirements. At the family level, food security means that the family can buy or grow enough food to meet everyone's basic needs. In rural places, knowing about food and nutrition is important for making sure families have enough to eat. Everyone in the family needs to know about food, nutrients, and the right way to eat because these things affect their health. Students, pregnant women, nursing moms, and other vulnerable groups are often malnourished because they don't understand how food meets their nutritional needs.
To show and feed the people in the rural area, nutrition education should be useful and flexible enough to take into account their eating habits, social status, and the food that is available locally. An effort to raise awareness will work with government programmes to increase people-centered programming using the newest tech tools and methods to protect everyone's right to health and food security.
