Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Institute - TSBF

Just catching up with meetings, I had a good meeting with Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Institute - TSBF, here in Gigiri, Nairobi, last week on Monday.
This Institute is supported by Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical – CIAT and by Rockefeller
We had a good and positive meeting with Dr Jonas Chiana and Dr Omo Ohiokpehai who have a project to look at the potential of soyabeans in enhancing rural livelihoods and small industries is funded by Rockefeller. Their aims are to determine soyabean production potential, to determine markets, to evaluate competitiveness of soyabean
Of all the local organisations we have talked to this group are the most interested to co-operate, we have contacts and information that they need for their project. They need help with organic farming techniques, use of compost, links to farmers groups in Western province and links to markets, in return they can help with technical support, baseline surveys and soya processing techniques and equipment.
