Kenya is transforming bean research through a KALRO-Alliance partnership focused on breeding climate-resilient varieties, improving seed systems, and building young scientists’ capacity to strengthen food security and support smallholder farmers.
Kenya is taking bold steps to transform its bean research landscape through renewed collaboration, innovation, and capacity building. At the heart of this transformation is a growing partnership between the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO) and the Pan-Africa Bean Research Alliance (PABRA), under the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT. This collaboration is not only driving the development of improved bean varieties but also laying the foundation for climate-resilient agriculture, stronger seed systems, and next-generation researchers poised to shape the future of food security in the region.
