dc.description.abstractThe presentation by the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI) focuses on pro-poor food security innovations. Recent mapping of crop value chains by KARI has yielded results where a diverse set of minor crops (millets, sorghum, green grams, cow peas and pigeon peas) are highly ranked. With climate change, major food crops like maize often fail and returns are low. Farmers need alternatives such as locally important, underutilized or neglected crops. Consultative stakeholders’ workshops were held in all three study sites of this project, taking note of farmers’ crop selections for diversification of their agricultural produce.en
