Photo 1: A flourishing  home garden in  rural Siaya.

This is a home garden established with the ALIMUS randomized control trial (RCT). The RCT has aims to support the production and consumption of nutritious and diverse foods among families in the rural Siaya County in Kenya. Each participating family receives a combination of nutrition counseling, home garden training and minimum materials (i.e. seeds, shovels, and watering cans). During the co-design phase , qualitative interviews with participating families and stakeholders were conducted to gain local perspectives on the implementation preferences.
