Fight Eliminate Hunger Initiative {FEHI},

About the event

  Farming as any other business is risky anywhere in the continent, but especially if you are a subsistence/small-scale farmer in Kenya, where a few weeks of too much or too little rain can wipe out your little farming investment and your ability to feed your family. The effects of climate change have been felt mostly by the farmers especially due to dependence on rain-fed agriculture. The changing and unpredictable raining seasons has greatly affected their ability to plan their farming activities.As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of natural hazards, the challenges faced by farmers also intensify.
  For many of the Kenyan farmers, the financial risks are high and the
returns are low. More than three-quarters of the Kenyans poor live in
rural areas. More than two-quarters depend on agriculture for their
livelihoods. Improving their income would be a great advance towards the
Millennium Development Goals of eradicating hunger and poverty. We can
help farming communities to prosper by providing tools and training that
make agriculture more productive, efficient and profitable
