Diversifying Agriculture

KAPAP has been an influential program in the ministry of agriculture through their diversified agricultural activities that they use to encourage farmers to look at agriculture not only as a source of food but also that of income. I visited mahiakalo this year during february only to find that KAPAP not only deals with local poultry but also with mushroom farming. Mushrooms are grown in grass thatched mud houses that provide suitable conditions for them to thrive. The farmers have since won many supply tenders of the unique product to hotels in Kakamega and now earn a lot of income.
