Enhancing productivity, post-harvest management, and market access of African Indigenous Vegetables in Kenya, led by Mumina Shibia from the Kenya Agriculture Livestock and Research Organization with support from the University of Nairobi and North Carolina State University. The research will identify optimal pre- and post-harvest interventions that can have significant impacts on increasing the availability of African Indigenous Vegetables (AIVs) in the marketplace. AIVs in Kenya have unique characteristics to help improve food and nutrition security, promote gender equity, and enhance the resilience of agricultural systems.
The project is being implemented in Kisii and Kakamega counties of Kenya, where AIVs are important women's enterprises.
