Reaching Smallholder Women with Information Services and Resilience Strategies to Respond to Climate Change
The goal of this project was to reduce poverty, improve food security, and reduce natural resource degradation for more than 3,600 women in Kenyan smallholder farm households through piloting climate-smart agricultural approaches using innovative information services in different parts of Kenya.
The project purposed to train 3,600 women farmers and farm families on using information on climate-smart agricultural technologies, practices, and principles for increased resilience to the potentially adverse impacts of climate change which would contribute to closing gendered yield gaps, enhanced equity and inclusion.
GROOTS Kenya successfully promoted the adoption of Zai pits and drip irrigation, and pioneered community-based data collection, which would be used to monitor progress in the number of farm households reached in this project.
