Participants also obtained new know

Participants also obtained new knowledge and skills about cropping practices on the shamba. Five interviewees learned about crops that are more ideally suited for the local climate or methods of increasing productivity.
“The skills we had before are not as good as the ones they told us. The crops that most of us used to grow were not suitable in our climate…Some crops take less time to mature like ground nuts, cow peas, beans. They are good for this climate (KCDP, interview 30).”
“I learned about ways to stop the water from evaporating. You can put cut up grass around the trunk of the tree so it doesn't evaporate quickly (KCDP, interview 2).”
