Food being the key outcome of agriculture is the key input of good and sustainable nutrition. In Kenya it is addressed in the constitution ‘The right to food’, in the Vision 2030 blueprint ‘Investment in Agriculture for food and nutrition security’. It is again important to note that without agriculture, there is little food thus leading to poor nutrition and availability of agriculture does not necessary mean there shall be good nutrition. It is thus evident that agriculture and nutrition is a cycle that cannot be broken and both fields also happen to be in a symbiotic relationship.
