Farmers following the training at Matungulu.

Greenpeace Africa partnered with Institute for Culture and Ecology (ICE), a local NGO working with farmers to organise a farmers workshop in Matungulu, Machakos County, Kenya.

Farmers exchanged knowledge on water harvesting techniques, preparing and using zaï pits and composting to ensure resilience against changing weather patterns. Approximately 100 farmers were very enthusiastic, asking questions and taking notes. In attendance were 10 journalists from Nairobi and the region. In the afternoon farmers got a chance to go out into the field, learning what they had been taught practically and interacted with media in several interviews.
