Boosting Food Security

brought about by enterprises’ concerns about rising costs and a widening pension gap due to an aging population.

Although the change is only related to the collection and management of tax rather than the fundamental rules of social security, some enterprises are still concerned about the increased burden once social security for employees is paid in line with regulations. In order to strike a balance between the increasing burden of enterprises and sustainable social security funds, decision makers need to take rational measures.

Kenya on September 11 unveiled strategies to boost food security and help curb rising cases of malnutrition. Health Ministry Cabinet Secretary Sicily Kariuki while launching the strategic guidelines in Nairobi said they contain food composition data, which forms the basis for most aspects of food and nutrition.

She noted that while there has been some improvement to boost food production in Kenya, a majority of citizens are still food insecure and face malnutrition.

“I am here to assure you that the government is committed to ensuring food and nutrition security as envisioned in the Kenya Vision 2030, the National Food and Nutrition Security Policy 2012, the

Big Four Agenda and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.” she said.
