Summary
This study looked at whether adding nutrition and hygiene support to an existing farming program can reduce malnutrition in pregnant women and their children. About 1,200 pregnant women in Kenya took part, with half getting the extra nutrition help. The goal was to see if children grew better and had fewer health problems like stunting and anemia by age two.
