Cultivating Resilience in Nyang’oma Masogo Ward Through Climate Smart Seeds

‎Smallholder farmers of Nyang’oma Masogo ward in Kisumu today received Climate Smart Seeds and fertilizer set to increase adoption to climate resilient farming practices through drought tolerant seeds and fertilizers that help farmers cope with unpredictable rainfall patterns and shorter growing seasons.
‎
‎As the impacts of climate change continue to cause concern across the county,  agricultural productions find themselves at risk due to erratic rainfall patterns, extended droughts, and unpredictable temperatures. All of this raises grave concerns for food security and the economic livelihoods in the community that rely on agricultural means for subsistence farming.


‎ It is with this background that Nyang’oma Masogo ward through Financing locally Led climate Action (FLLOCA) project, introduced a sustainable solution which is  climate-smart  to promote resilience. 
‎
‎The beneficiaries included, Mine Nyalo farmers group, Special Smile group, Sky farmers, Nyang’oma victory farmers, Upendo farmers as well as 60 individual households.


‎Efforts to distribute climate-resilient farm inputs, like drought-resistant seeds, are gaining traction, with farmers embracing practices such as crop diversification.
‎
‎The FLLOCA funded project, aimed at empowering smallholder farmers to adapt to changing weather conditions, ensure sustainable production, and improve their food security. The farm inputs included maize, beans and a variety of vegetable seeds, CAN and DAP fertilizers.

Speaking during the distribution exercise at Nyangoma center, the county climate change officer Ms. Beatrice Okello stated that the farm inputs are meant to increase resilience to climate change as well as assist small-holder farmers to maximize crop cultivation for improved yields and increased food production.
‎
‎On behalf of the beneficiaries, Elder Caleb  Ojako Okumu appreciated the efforts of the County Government through FLLOCA, stating that the farm inputs will ensure an increase in the harvest and promotion of food security in Nyang’oma and its environs.

The distribution exercise was led by the members of the Ward Climate Change Committee together with the County Climate Change officer and the Sub County Agricultural officer.
