Kenya: Smart Farming Rich Harvest for Kisumu - AllAfrica
A farmer feeds his gala goats in Nyando,an upgraded breed costs Sh 5,000 to Sh 8,000 almost three times the price of an indigenous goat that they were used to.
CGIAR Climate's insight:
The initiative was established by the CGIAR Research Programme on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) in partnership with World Neighbours where a farmer is given a gala goat to crossbreed with the small East African indigenous one and then they follow up by giving a six month to one year kid to a neighbour for purposes of crossbreeding.
