In a continued effort to strengthen food security and climate adaptation in Kenya’s North Rift region, ADS North Rift Region, in collaboration with Bread for the World and DanChurchAid, hosted a multi-stakeholder forum in Nandi County under the FOSECCA (Food Security through Climate Change Adaptation) project.

In Kenya’s North Rift region, a quiet revolution is taking root, right on the soil tilled by small farmers. Through Farmer Field Schools (FFS), popularly known as demo farms, ADS North Rift is equipping rural communities with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to improve their agricultural practices and, ultimately, their livelihoods.

But what exactly makes these demonstration farms so effective? Here are the 5 Ways Farmer Field Schools are changing lives in the North Rift:

In the hills of Marakwet East, where malnutrition continues to be a silent struggle for many families, one farmer is quietly planting the seeds of change, and the results are nothing short of inspiring.

ADS North Rift hosted a successful multi-stakeholder meeting in Iten under the FOSECCA (Food Security and Climate Change Adaptation) project, bringing together representatives from county governments, civil society organizations and faith-based institutions.

At ADS North Rift, we believe that agriculture is more than just food production, it is a pathway to financial security, environmental conservation, and long-term sustainability. Through our programs, we are empowering farmers with the tools they need to thrive while safeguarding the land and water resources for future generations.

Across the rolling green hills and fertile plains of Nandi, a quiet revolution is taking place, not just changing landscapes but transforming lives. At ADS North Rift, we believe sustainable agriculture is more than just a practice; it is a movement, a shared commitment to securing livelihoods, enhancing food security, and building resilience in the face of climate change.

At the heart of Kenya’s North Rift region, farmers are rewriting their stories of resilience and success, thanks to the support of ADS North Rift. Through strategic training, resource mobilization, and community-driven initiatives, these farmers are not only securing their livelihoods but also transforming entire communities

In Turkana South, families are feeling the weight of climate change like never before. Erratic weather patterns, prolonged droughts, and food insecurity have made daily survival a struggle. At ADS North Rift, we are walking alongside these communities, listening to their challenges and working together to create solutions that offer real hope

At ADS Northrift, we are dedicated to transforming communities through sustainable agriculture. One of our initiatives is the development of a dairy farm, where we focus on finding cost-effective and high-quality sources of protein and fiber for our livestock.
