On the expanses of Nakuru: How the Nakuru Tubers Project Bridges the Gap in Seed Potato Production Using Human-centered Research
Winnie Wambugu reports first-hand: “Nakuru Tubers: Bridging the seed potato gap with Human Centered Design Research.” Enok Rugut and Felista Makau are happy to present the fruits of their journey based on human-centered design, with the support of IGNITE Innovation Hub for Eastern Africa, DTU Skylab, WFP Innovation Accelerator and Circle Innovation!
For a long time, Enok Rugut and Felista Makau have been working hard to revolutionize seed potato production in Kenya. Take a look at these shots of our diverse seed potato production prototypes, developed in close collaboration with farmers from various constituencies of Nakuru County.
From greenhouses to hydroponic plants, we explore innovative approaches that are climate-resilient, economical and user-friendly.
This is just the beginning! We are committed to continuous learning, adaptation and collaboration to ensure that our solution truly meets the needs of Kenyan farmers.
Join us on this journey! Share your thoughts, ask questions, and let’s build a more sustainable and food-safe future for Kenya together.
