The Accelerating Impacts of CGIAR Climate Research for Africa (AICCRA) project is transforming farming practices in Kenya’s semi-arid regions by promoting drought-tolerant crops and climate-smart technologies. Through farmer field days, implemented by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-arid Tropics (ICRISAT), the project equips farmers with practical solutions for building resilience.
In collaboration with county governments in Makueni, Kitui, and Taita Taveta, AICCRA has introduced innovative approaches to tackle climate challenges, helping farmers adapt to erratic weather patterns and declining soil fertility.
