Soils, Food and Healthy Communities (SFHC) has worked with farmers to address malnutrition by strengthening the link between agroecological production and household nutrition. This practical, user-friendly Indigenous Recipe Book grows out of that work.
It supports SFHC’s Farmer Research Teams to share nutritional knowledge and locally rooted recipes through community cooking demonstrations and household sessions. The recipes centre on six traditional, drought-tolerant and nutrient-rich crops – common bean, sorghum, millet, groundnut, Bambara nut and soybean – alongside locally prepared relishes. These are crops already grown by many smallholder farmers in the region. By building on what communities know and produce, the book reinforces the connection between healthy soils, diverse harvests and healthier families.
