Summary

This study evaluates a program that trains smallholder farmers in northern Nigeria to grow more vegetables and promotes healthier diets. Researchers will measure whether farmers and their neighbors increase the amount and variety of vegetables they eat. The goal is to see if this approach can improve nutrition in the community.

What this could lead to
If successful, this program could offer a model for improving nutrition and vegetable intake in low-resource farming communities.
What could go wrong
This is an observational evaluation, not a controlled experiment, so results may be influenced by other factors. The program's success depends on local adoption and may not apply to other regions.
