Series 12 - Ep 13: PRM technology and Gender, Soil Erosion, Pasture, Value addition and Finances(English)
Welcome to Shamba Shape Up
This week we’re in Baringo county. This is a dryland area, so farming has adapted to lower rainfall but now with climate change, there are new challenges as well so to get the best out of the land, farmers work together to share the land as a group.
We want to find out how they do this, and what new technologies they’ve adopted.
We’re meeting Pastoralists Reuben and Florence. They are teachers as well as farmers, although Reuben has recently turned to farming full-time.
We learn about:
- Participatory Rangeland Management and why it is so important to involve women in land management practices
- How to manage soil erosion
- How to create water points for your cows
- How to finance value additions
