AGRICOLA IND 92037158, Nigeria, like other countries faced with balance of payment difficulties and fall in commodity prices, started implementing a World Bank-sponsored structural adjustment program (SAP) as a strategy for economic recovery and growth. Available evidence has shown that the SAP has lowered real income value and increased malnutrition due to inaccessibility of the poor to nutritious food, with resultant nutritional consequences. Nutrition Education has been acknowledged as the most important method of combating malnutrition in developing countries, as it is possible to improve nutrient intake of individuals despite the absence of improvement in their status. This paper discusses the strategies of extending nutrition education to different groups in rural Nigeria taking into consideration local custom, food production pattern, post-harvest handling of agricultural produce, extent of malnutrition and the dietary needs of different age groups. The paper stresses the importance of the potential dietary changes to be within the economic resources of the rural families as this is critical to the effectiveness of the education program.
