Busia: Going Back to Sorghum Production Amid Climate Change

A farmer checks on her sorghum crop in Busia

On a Tuesday morning at Nasuna village in Busia County's Bundalangi constituency, farmers gather at a home under a tree. They speak in a mixture of both low and moderate tones as they discuss three varieties of sorghum which they each had cultivated during the last season. The farmers are having discussions during a feedback meeting organized by the Genetic Resources Research Institute (GeRRI), commonly known as the National Genebank and which has been supporting farmers in western Kenya in getting access to sorghum seeds of different varieties.
