AGRA-Watch ally Jill Richardson chronicles her stay with G-BIACK, the Grow Biointensive Center in Kenya, on her blog La VidaLocavore. The center is headed by Samuel Nderitu and his wife Peris, and won the 2011 Food Sovereignty Prize Honorable Mention at AW’s nomination. It focuses on organic farming methods and women’s programs.
They have also started a few livestock programs designed to spread knowledge and ownership of certain key animals that are easy to raise and provide farmers with numerous benefits.
