Some farmers in Machakos County are preparing for a bumper harvest after adhering to the weatherman's advisory on crucial climate information.
The same farmers had also benefitted from several trainings by the IGAD Climate Prediction and Application Centre (ICPAC) on what to plant to avoid famine.
Justus Kituku, a farmer from Katoloni in Machakos, is about to harvest several bags of maize and beans from his 3-acre farm, which he planted in December last year during the depressed rains.
He acknowledges the impact of the training and guidance he received from the Participatory Scenario Planning (PSP) by ICPAC and agriculture stakeholders on what crops to grow and when to plant in order to have enhanced yields.
