Over the past twenty years, Helen Keller International (HKI) has implemented its Homestead Food Production (HFP) program to increase household production of micronutrient-rich foods and improve the quality of diets among vulnerable households across Asia and, more recently, Africa. As part of the program, village model farms -which support diversified, year-round production of micronutrient-rich crops, and improved breeds of poultry and small animals-are established to demonstrate gardening and small animal-raising techniques to program participants. Program participants in turn are established to demonstrate gardening and small animal-raising techniques to program participants. Program participants in turn are provided with small inputs such as seeds, seedlings, and small tools to establish home gardens using techniques they learn at the village model farms. In addition, the program uses a behavior change communication (BCC) strategy to increase participant's health and nutrition-related knowledge and practices.
