Extension programs, including awareness camps, mass media, R&D efforts and training to farmers and stakeholders, may be exercised for this purpose. A survey is required to assess the consumption of SIFFS per household per year and further the understanding of the processing and culinary procedures to protect nutrients without degradation, eating habits, and all the health benefits from SIFFS consumption. This can be done through a consortium involving research and educational institutions as well as NGOs. Policy approaches, legislation and their implementation can ensure disadvantaged groups of access to SIFFS. Notes D.N.
