Revolutionizing Agriculture: From Traditional Methods to Climate-Smart Farming

John Koileken Sengele, a father of three from Narok North Sub County, Narok County, narrates his transformation from traditional to Climate Smart Agriculture (CSA). Initially yielding 8 bags of maize and 30 bags of potatoes from his land, Koileken's life changed with the introduction of Conservation Agriculture (CA) by Farm to Market Alliance (FtMA).
Adopting CSA practices like crop rotation and minimum tillage, Koileken witnessed an 80% increase in his crop yield. His maize and potato harvests surged to 20 and 70 bags, respectively, from the same acreage. This remarkable improvement empowered him to build a permanent home, invest in dairy cattle, and pay his children's school fees comfortably.
Koileken's journey doesn't end with personal success; he mentors 200 farmers, half of whom have embraced CSA and experienced transformative results. As a Farmer Service Centre (FSC), he links farmers to vital resources and services, envisioning a community where CSA becomes a way of life, ensuring prosperity and sustainable agriculture.
