Accelerating agroecology from the ground up through ABCD training in Kiserian
In March 2026, smallholder farmers in Kiserian, Kenya, joined a four-day ABCD training under CGIAR’s Multifunctional Landscapes program to strengthen agroecology by shifting from deficit-based thinking to asset driven, community led development.
In Kiserian, Kajiado County, food system stakeholders convened for an intensive four-day training under the theme: Accelerating Agroecology through Asset-Based Community-driven Development Approach (ABCD), an activity anchored within the CGIAR’s Multi-Functional Landscapes (MFL) Science Program. Hosted at the Community Sustainable Agriculture and Healthy Environment Program (CSHEP), Kiserian, the workshop, which took place between 3rd and 6th March 2026, brought together predominantly smallholder farmers practicing agroecology and seeking a deeper understanding of its economic, social, and ecological aspects for a better foundation.
