In Kaplangau village, located in West Marakwet Sub-county, Elgeyo -Marakwet County, youth-led horticultural farming is gaining traction as a viable economic alternative in rural development.
Leveraging small-scale irrigation, high-yield seed varieties, and market-driven production, young farmers like Christine Jepchumba are redefining the role of youth in Kenya's agri-food systems.
At just 25 years old, Christine has made a name for herself as one of the young people driving rural economic development through modern vegetable farming.
A diploma graduate in Business Management from Eldoret Technical College, Christine ventured into farming in 2022 after months of unsuccessfully searching for employment.
