ABOUT THE PROJECT
The project is being implemented in Western Kenya (Busia and Bungoma Counties). The direct beneficiaries are smallholder farmers in the region who are members of organized groups and are farming ecologically. The small holder farmers selected are the ones who have been trained previously on agro-ecological methods by PELUM Kenya Member Organisations (MO) and Biovision Africa Trust. The project will focus on four farmer groups including one women and one youth group.
