The Nakuru County, in partnership with the Engineers Without Borders Israel (EWB-I) organisation, plans to set up a facility to train farmers on ways of manufacturing high-protein animal feeds.
The plant is aimed at cutting down the cost of livestock feeds and enhancing profitability among smallholder farmers.
Engineers Without Borders Israel (EWB-I) is an Israeli organisation that consists of engineers and technical professionals who volunteer their skills to support various humanitarian projects worldwide.
Agriculture Chief Officer Newton Mwaura said the partnership with Israel will help in promoting climate-smart and locally adapted appropriate technologies for food security in the county, adding that the farmers' training will offer practical solutions to combat the high cost of feeds, support sustainable agriculture, and enhance productivity.
