Media visit to the Nyando climate-smart villages
Visit to the Nyando Climate Smart Villages with journalists from the British Broadcasting Corporation and the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation to document ongoing climate change adaptation and mitigation work.
The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), East Africa together with partners are working with farmers towards a better adapted community with higher income and greater food security. Some of the ongoing activities include climate information services, farmer experimentation network, and linkages with the private sector (input supply and marketing agencies). Involvement of local policy makers and shared learning are needed to provide an opportunity for the partners and farmers to reflect, and also for scaling up.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC) will prepare radio and television documentaries aimed at showcasing:
- Local adaptation action linked to changing practices and new technologies: Greenhouse farming with youth groups
- The integrating of women farmers work and empowering them to practice climate smart agriculture
- Community knowledge sharing through farmer learning event
