Nzioka Kivanga, 29, harvests maize from his farm in Machakos County, Kenya, on 20th July 2016. Since he started planting drought-resistant seed from Dryland Seed Company, Nzioka has seen his harvests increase. He is now able to support his wife and 3-year-old daughter, and has even built a brick house from the proceeds from sale of continuous bumper harvests. Dryland Seed Company received a grant from AGRA which helped them increase production to meet the demand for drought resistant seeds in Kenya.

For over 10 years, AGRA’s work across 18 countries was focused on distinct problems related to seed production, soil health, and agriculture markets that were so profound and had been neglected for so long that they required a concentrated effort to resolve. Our results have been impressive. Now, we’re embarking on an ambitious and more integrated approach in select countries. In Keeping with the role of AGRA as the catalyst for a uniquely African Green revolution, this image dashboard seeks to increase information access on Africa's Agriculture Transformation by aggregating images from our work with Implementing partners, governments, the private sector and all value chain actors.
