Kitui, Kenya
A project by Bioversity and several partners in Kenya to increase the production, consumption and marketing of a wide range of African leafy vegetables and to improve household welfare.
Local leafy vegetables have long been an important part of people's diet in Africa - nutritious, affordable and adapted to local growing conditions and cultural traditions. But in the latter part of the 20th century, they fell out of fashion.
Between 1996 and 2004, Bioversity International worked with partners in Kenya to revive the interest of researchers and ordinary people in these valuable foods.
