Consequently, (Foraete, 2001) the National Strategic goal is zero hunger by ensuring food security. Government's recognition of the importance of nutrition in development, and the need for intersectoral action to improve the food and nutrition situation of the country, led to the establishment of the NFNC by Cabinet subvention in 1982 charged with the role of coordinating the intersectoral efforts needed to correct the growing food, nutrition and health problems. Unfortunately, NFNC was not given "line" function within Government, and had not had the proper authority to effectively undertake the coordinating role although it continues to carry out a monitoring role. Other initiatives by Government effected through sectoral policies, programmes and activities have seen improvements in overall standard of living. These include literacy, environmental sanitation, community health services, immunisation and family planning. Government through the Ministry of Health has implemented national salt iodisation, banning of sale of mutton flaps, income-generating programmes, Food Safety Act and most recently, national iron and micronutrient supplementation. Fiji held its inaugural Food Summit in August 2009 to address national food security. The summit was attended by representatives of Government, the private sector, civil society, regional and international organisations. The purpose of the meeting was to determine how the public and private-civic sectors can work together to improve the health benefits of improved food security. Please Paraphrase the text?
