Malnutrition can occur in the presence of adequate energy intake. In Kenya, a third of both under-fives and women suffer from chronic malnutrition1. Diets are dominated by starchy, energy-dense foods, with low consumption of nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables, and animal source foods. This study assessed household food security status and determined its relationship with dietary practices and nutrition status of mothers and children in Laikipia County, Kenya.
