Nakuru County government has recruited and trained 309 agripreneurs who will empower farmers on innovative digital solutions and technologies for improved crop production and food sufficiency for local consumption and export.
Deputy Governor David Kones said with adoption of innovative digital tools, farmers would be able to enhance the ability to grow sufficient food and ensure food security.
Kones regretted that communities were currently experiencing fallout from the climate change crisis resulting in drought and water crisis, volatile weather, unstable food production and loss of livelihood.
He, however, assured that Governor Susan Kihika's administration, through the Department of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Veterinary Services, had been promoting innovative digital solutions aimed at empowering farmers, boosting productivity, and expanding market access.
