Description
Summary:This manual has been developed based on participatory workshops and subsequent agri-nutrition training courses in Vihiga County, Western Kenya by the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT.

The learning objectives for the training are focused on: (1) basic principles of nutrition; (2) a life-cycle approach to nutrition; (3) home gardening; (4) use of underutilized crops to diversify diets; and (5) a practical cooking demonstration session.
