Last month, MASHAV experts and the World Food Programme conducted two targeted agricultural training programs in Nakuru and Nyandarua Counties, Kenya, as part of the WFP initiative “From Farm to Market”.

These sessions brought together 56 agronomists, farmers, Ministry of Agriculture representatives, and local government officials to explore practical strategies for drought resilience, soil fertility, irrigation efficiency, and post-harvest management.

In partnership with the University of Ghana, MASHAV experts and alumnae took part in the first-ever Women in Agriculture Seminar, inspiring over 250 students.
