The Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), in collaboration with Imperial College London, have established a planet-first demonstration farm. The farm is being used as a training site for school teachers and farmers on regenerative agriculture practices. KALRO envisions that the demonstration farm will encourage the reproduction of planet-first farms in schools and farms throughout the semi-arid region of Kenya.
