Introduction

Malnutrition resulting from the intake of imbalanced diets deficient in proteins and micronutrients (vitamin A, iron, zinc and iodine) remains the most devastating problem facing the majority of the poor and needy people in Eastern Africa (FAO, 2015; Ojiewo et al., 2015a). The tragic consequences of malnutrition include mortality and morbidity, poor mental and physical development, poor performance in school and as a result, retarded national socioeconomic development (COHA Report, 2013). A malnourished society lacks the physical and mental capacity to produce sufficient food to feed itself and depends on external sources for livelihoods (Ojiewo et al., 2015a).
