Abstract
If we must achieve No.2&3 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) we must ensure food availability, food accessibility and food affordability. The purpose of this study was to proffer feasible solutions to the prevention of micro-nutrients related disease through nutrition based approach. Quantitative and qualitative research methods were employed through the use of questionnaires and field observations to elicit responses from 40 households. Data generated were analysed using SPSS version-20, hypotheses were tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PPMCC) and results were presented descriptively in simple percentages, and graphs. The study findings/results showed that there is significant relationship between food availability, food accessibility, food affordability and prevalence of micro-nutrients related diseases. Based on this, one of the recommendations was that small scale farmers are to be empowered through provision of farm resources like fertilizers, loans and equipment to encourage them.
