46,000 Kenyans set to benefit from climate smart agricultural project

Tana River region

Tana River farmers, known for their heavy reliance on livestock farming, have, in recent years been at the mercy of the unforgiving ravages of climate change. Pasture deterioration and water insecurity are the main cause of livestock death and declines in productivity. This has in turn wiped out household incomes as well as food security in the region.

But their predicament will soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a collaboration dubbed ALIVE, between Kerry Group, the world's leading taste and nutrition company and Concern Worldwide, an Irish humanitarian organisation. The partnership aims at improving the lives of over 46,000 Kenyans by providing access to climate smart agricultural practices.
