Nodes of growth: Improving Legume Seed Networks in Kenya

This is a small mapping project with a focus on outlets of improved drought-tolerant bean seeds in Kenya.

The objective of the project is to map the locations of the suppliers of bean seeds in small packs distributed by Farm Input Promotions (FIPS) - Africa.

When the locations of existing supliers have been compiled we will make maps and look for places that do not have good access to these seeds.

We are working with FIPS-Africa (amongst others) to ensure that supply matches demand.
