EU to spend $13.6m for food research in kenya

According to the African EU coordinator responsible for
agriculture, Dominic Davuu, the EU has issued its research
contingency funds towards integrating all the possible
economic products in Baringo county.
Working in partnership with the National Drought
Management Authority, World Food Programme, the Kenya
Research Development Programme, non-governmental
organizations and the County Integrated Development Plan,
the new mitigation plan is expected to strenghten food
security in the region.
“The mitigation scheme will ensure farmers in Baringo
county focus in drought resistant crops and livestock
breeds that survive in adverse conditions and produce
throughout the year,” said Davuu.
"We are particular on cassava, millet, sorghum, honey and
livestock production that do well in the county especially
ASAL areas where hunger occasioned by prolonged
draughts is reported every season," added Davuu.
