We are educating people in the North Rift of Kenya about biointensive farming to enable them to have a secure source of food and create sustainable occupations.
A major study by the United Nations presented in 2008 says that organic farming offers Africa the best chance of breaking the cycle of poverty and malnutrition it has been locked in for decades.
We are working to make that possibility a reality in the North Rift.
