Carren Adhiambo Otieno ResearcherI take this opportunity to appreciate those who have pledged for funding and encourage those still willing to create an impact in the lives of smallholder farmers and to ensure food security and employment among the youths and women.Apr 04, 20250
intfgjtogywoueiautwdYour research work is truly fascinating and impressive. What has been the most exciting part of the journey and in the flip order, what has been the most challenging part ?Apr 04, 20250- Carren Adhiambo Otieno ResearcherSmallholder farmers comprise of 84% of word's farms and they produce substantial global food security particularly in developing countries yet very little attention has been been taken to promote them. Empowering them by providing cheap planting materials boosts productivity and sustainable livelihoods. The major challenge I have faced about my project has been finance and resources to upscale and reach a larger population as the demand for tolerant taro accessions and other indigenous food crops continue to rise.Apr 04, 20250

That is not a small feat and i believe it would pay off soonest. I understand how challenging it might be because my friend also run a research project in your niche, i remembered how challenging it was when he just started but after following the necessary protocols and procedures, he was able to achieve maximum success.
