Agricultural projects involve innovation adoption towards food security, and includes field studies with participating farmers. Local and traditional food crops are a focus of research. The Kenya Agriculture Research Institute (KARI)-McGill project contributes to the development goal of enhanced food and nutrition security through a better understanding of food systems and drivers of food insecurity.
