🌾🌾 AGROECOLOGY FUND PROJECT

📖📖 OVERVIEW

The Agroecology Fund Project is a long-term initiative that has been running for over 15 years with support from Tudor Trust UK. The project focuses on training smallholder farmers in agroecology within Kiambu and Murang’a Counties.

• Farmer Support & Monitoring: Provide ongoing follow-up to ensure farmers implement the organic practices they have learned.
• Managerial Skill Development: Equip farmers with essential management skills to improve productivity and sustainability.
• Knowledge Sharing: Organize and facilitate farmer learning and exchange visits to promote shared experiences and peer learning.

🌍🌍 IMPACT

Over the years, the project has empowered smallholder farmers to transition from conventional farming to organic practices, leading to healthier ecosystems, improved nutrition, and stronger livelihoods for local communities.
