WLU, Rongo University collaborate on food production training program

Wilfrid Laurier University is collaborating with Rongo University on a seven-year program that provides food production training to farmers in Migori, Kenya. The program addresses gaps in the food production chain by disseminating information and amplifying farmers’ voices using local media. The project aims to enhance training for graduate fellows in a variety of fields and give them opportunities to share knowledge with local communities. “We will ensure that the project is participatory to help bring voices together and share knowledge collectively to address poverty, food insecurity, and climate change in the county,” said WLU Assistant Professor Dr Andrew Spring.
