Study Extent
Kenya, Tanzania, and UgandaSampling
These were one-time distributions of seed kits to farmers.Method steps

The distributed lines were open-pollinated so that farmers could save seed. Seed kits were distributed in combination with capacity development in vegetable growing and seed saving.
