Summary:Kenya faces significant challenges in achieving food security despite its fertile land. With annual food imports exceeding USD 1.1 billion and rising, and climate change impacts and urbanization intensifying, there's an urgent need for innovative solutions. The AgriTech4Kenya Innovation Challenge aims to address these issues by fostering science-based agri-tech innovations that are localized within the national context and driven by market demand. By bridging the gap between research and market adoption, the initiative supports sustainability, resilience, and efficiency in Kenya’s agriculture. On April, 16, 2024, a high-consultation workshop brought together key stakeholders to explore the agri-tech innovation landscape in Kenya.
