Presentation:

A GreenGarden Approach to Malnutrition Leafy vegetables have the most nutrients per calorie of any foods and there are over 1000 plant species with edible leaves. This nutrient density and great diversity make leaf crops ideal for reducing the two most common forms of malnutrition; micro-nutrrient deficiencies and obesity. This presentation will help you to choose the best leaf crops, how to grow them with hand tools in small gardens, and how to prepare the leafy vegetables so that they are appealing, especially to children.
