Context and Rationale

Smallholder farmers in Kenya face interconnected challenges: low productivity, post-harvest losses, limited market access, and growing climate risks. Women farmers face additional barriers including limited access to productive resources, markets, and financial services.

CARE Kenya’s FFBS model addresses these barriers through integrated technical training, market systems development, and financial inclusion, while the DMDP introduces sustainable biological technologies at scale.
