Farmers in Nakuru County are set to reap significant environmental, social, and economic benefits through a pioneering Cropland Carbon Farming project.

This collaborative initiative brings together the Nakuru County Government, the Cereal Growers Association - Farm to Market Alliance (CGA-FtMA), and Boomitra, a leading agricultural technology company.

The County Executive Committee Member for Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperatives Leonard Bor said today the ambitious project is centered on empowering farmers to adopt climate-smart agricultural practices that not only enhance soil health and boost productivity but also generate income through the sale of high-integrity carbon credits.

He added that this initiative comes at a crucial time, highlighting the growing importance of climate agriculture in mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change on food security and livelihoods.
