Kericho, in Kenya's highlands is a lush, green region containing some of the richest farmland in all of Africa.

It's where a large amount of the world's tea is produced.

And it's also home to some of the worst malnutrition, including infant stunting, in all of Kenya.

We delve into this wicked problem to examine why malnutrition is high among farmers and their families in a region that is an ideal foodbowl. And we take you inside an ambitious project that is using the power of human-centred design to change that situation for the better.
