Abstract

An integrated model of gardening, supplementary feeding, and nutrition education (GarNESupp) among school children in Cavite Province in the Philippines was implemented. The study showed effectiveness of the model in improving the nutritional status of children; improving the Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) both among children and parents; and sustaining the implementation of bio-intensive nutrition gardens and crop museums. These strategies help sustain and conserve crop cultivars while improving year-round availability of a diverse range of climate-resilient, locally adapted, and nutritionally important vegetables. This policy brief provides details of the programme, the study, and transferrable interventions and outcomes.
