Fruit Tree Portfolios for Improved Diets and Nutrition in Machakos county, Kenya

Export citation

Fruit tree portfolios are location-specific combinations of indigenous and exotic fruit tree species that can provide year-round harvest of vitamin-rich fruits and, at the same time, fill ‘hunger gaps’ and specific ‘nutrient gaps’. This is aimed at enhancing the diversity of fruits on farms for increased fruits consumption and better diets, while addressing seasonal food availability.
