Participatory approach to increase dietary diversity through agricultural activities and nutrition education in Western Kenya
Due to their limited access to the external productive inputs and the dependency on rain-fed agricultural production, small scale farmers in sub-Saharan Africa have continued to face undernutrition despite the significant advancements in agriculture. They however often live in areas endowed with ...
