Which legislation strengthened the barangay nutrition program by introducing a Barangay Nutrition Scholar in every barangay?

The legislation that strengthened the barangay nutrition program by introducing a Barangay Nutrition Scholar in every barangay is PD 1569. This law aimed to enhance the nutritional welfare of communities by designating scholars specifically to focus on nutrition issues at the grassroots level. By incorporating a Barangay Nutrition Scholar, the program sought to ensure that each barangay has a dedicated individual responsible for addressing nutritional needs, promoting health education, and implementing community nutrition programs.

This added layer of support allows for better local engagement and responsiveness to the unique nutritional challenges faced by each community, thus fostering a more organized and effective approach to improving public health nutrition. The inclusion of a trained scholar enhances the capability of local governments to assess nutritional issues and implement appropriate programs tailored to their populations' specific needs.
