Kenya is advancing an agroecology transition supported by a national strategy informed by CGIAR. Through participatory approaches, partners in Ndeiya, Kiambu County, are developing scalable, climate-resilient food systems. Over 1,000 farmers were trained, 200 households created kitchen gardens, 17 schools established organic gardens and tree nurseries, and 5,000 tree seedlings support land restoration. A network of Farmer Researchers and a Participatory Guarantee System group, together with the local host training center, CSHEP, now work towards linking agrobiodiversity, school meals, and markets, improving nutrition, incomes, youth engagement, and women’s leadership.

CGIAR discusses the impacts of climate change on global food supply chains and why long-term investment in crop science, climate adaptation, and farmer-focused innovation is essential.

With a combined history of more than a 100 years, the Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT delivers research-based solutions that harness agricultural biodiversity and sustainably transform food systems to improve people’s lives in a climate crisis.
