Zambian cooperative backs fish in school meals
ZACOSO sees new markets for fish producers and entrepreneurship for students.
The Zambian Aquaculture Cooperative Society Limited (ZACOSO) supports the government's plan to add fish to school meals. ZACOSO believes this will create new markets for local fish producers.
The cooperative also sees the integration as a way to promote entrepreneurship among students. The government has called for the inclusion of nutrient-dense aquatic foods to improve learner nutrition.
ZACOSO expressed optimism about the planned integration of fish into the school feeding programme.
