| description | Under the Food Frontiers and Security Program (FFSP) the International Institute of Agriculture (IITA) together with the World Vegetable Center have focused attention on the promotion and use of quality vegetable seedlings as the foundation for improving the resilience and safety of urban and peri-urban (UPU) food production systems in Kenya.
Seedlings play a vital role in the quality of production. High quality seedlings give rise to superior crops that are resilient against numerous stresses, such as pests and diseases. In UPU areas, leafy vegetables are highly perishable and among the most consumed crops. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) consumption of at least 400 g of vegetables per day are recommended to avert non-communicable diseases (NCDs). To maintain healthy diets in urban centers the local production and supply of safe, perishable vegetables is essential. |
