Abstract

The Kenyan experience of food insecurity provides an opportunity to identify and better understand the barriers to integrating knowledge, specifically with regards to agricultural technologies and their adoption. There is a link between farmers’ levels of community organization and knowledge integration. This poster illustrates various dimensions of the project which worked with participating farmers to successfully introduce new agricultural technologies to communities for the purpose of increased food security.
