With Kitchen gardens, vulnerable households can ensure inexpensive, regular and handy supplies of fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices, eggs and meat. Well-planned kitchen gardens also guarantee households access to a healthy diet that contain adequate macro and micro-nutrients. The demo kitchen garden show cases different technologies that can be used in different Agro-Ecological Zones. The demo garden has 12 kitchen garden technologies that households can choose from. Farmers choose which technologies to set up upon being advised by the county staff.
