From pilots to county-wide change: Scaling gender-transformative innovation bundles in Embu, Kenya
Farmers in Embu, Kenya, are scaling Gender Transformative Innovation Bundles (GTSTIBs) from pilots to county-wide adoption, empowering women, youth, and PWDs for resilient, equitable and sustainable agriculture. In the rolling hills of Embu, a quiet revolution is taking root. For years, smallh...

| description | Farmers in Embu, Kenya, are scaling Gender Transformative Innovation Bundles (GTSTIBs)
from pilots to county-wide adoption, empowering women, youth, and PWDs for resilient,
equitable and sustainable agriculture.
In the rolling hills of Embu, a quiet revolution is taking root. For years, smallholder
farmers—especially women and young people—have faced challenges including poor
yields, changing climates, and limited market access. But something new is happening:
farmers are not just receiving innovations, they are co-creating them.
Welcome to the world of Gender Transformative Socio-Technical Innovation Bundles
(GTSTIBs)—a mouthful, yes, but in simple terms, it means bringing together seeds, tools,
knowledge, and conversations that empower farmers as equals. |
