Youth unemployment remains a pressing issue in Kenya, and the traditional job market often fails to provide adequate opportunities; therefore, many young people are turning to farming as a means of creating employment for themselves and generating income.
In the rural landscapes of Vihiga, Kenya, resides a 32-year-old Merryline Awuor Keya, who has embraced farming.
From an exercise that has for ages been perceived as unprofitable, she has discovered the lucrative nature of the agricultural sector.
Merryline has been a fashion designer since 2015, when she decided to concentrate more on farming.
