Abstract

This study has found out that Malawi is currently entrenched in maize consumption while disregarding other healthier and cheaper food alternatives such as orange sweet potatoes, cassava and irish potatoes. This is leaving more Malawians malnourished while the country is suffering from massive forex drainage inhibiting the country from importing essential drugs and petroleum products. Continued over reliance on maize is therefore both an economic challenge and health hazard. Changing the current status quo however requires substantial commitment and Lewin’s Force Field Analysis was adopted to provide a platform to look at ways of redressing the current situation. There is a possibility of changing the current scenario through deliberate approaches in the school feeding programme.
