AGRA_523

Gerald Nakhungu outside his home in Mumias, Kenya, on 22nd July 2016. Switching from farming sugar cane to 'maridadi' finger millet has brought higher returns with every harvest. Gerald's three children are now in private schools, he has opened a mobile phone and motorcycle taxi business and grows trees for sale as building materials. AGRA supported the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation's program to develop 'maridadi' finger millet which has higher yield than previously planted breeds.

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.
