Can innovative farming transform diets in climate-stressed regions of East Africa? Evidence: In many rural communities in Kenya and Ethiopia, malnutrition and food insecurity have long been challenges, exacerbated by climate change. Poor diets, especially among women and children, often lead to stunted growth, illnesses, and lost potential. The answer lies in Socio-Technical Innovation Bundles (STIBs). By combining improved, drought-tolerant seeds such as Nyota beans with gender-responsive nutrition training and kitchen gardens, families are redefining how they grow and consume food. This approach empowers women to take charge of nutrition, stabilizes food production during droughts, and builds a sustainable culture of health and resilience. Brighter futures are within reach! Watch as a joint effort transforms lives and join us in scaling these innovations.
