A profile of DIVERSify activities in Africa with project partner, the Kenya Forestry Research Institute. Kenya offers a unique perspective on the issues at hand in DIVERSify. It’s one of the participant countries feeling the pressures of climate change and food security most acutely - while also having one of the broadest bases of traditional knowledge of mixed cropping among farmers.
