dc.description.abstractIn three country case studies – Benin, Kenya and South Africa, the implementation of a cross-cutting intervention package that spans agriculture, health, and environment sectors, rooted within local food systems, was carried out and then assessed. Agricultural biodiversity can be mobilized to improve local diets and potentially, nutritional outcomes in communities within African local food systems. The project explores how combined agriculture-nutrition interventions based on local food, ecosystems and human resources can provide sustainable solutions to malnutrition. Research demonstrates that rural communities utilized on-farm diversity and took up nutritious, new or under-utilized crop species.en
