As food systems evolve, Nakuru Tubers’ Digital Connectors are being equipped with cutting-edge tools and training to bring knowledge directly to the farm gate
We cannot keep doing the same things and expect different outcomes. This truth lies at the heart of a powerful transformation now underway in how extension services are delivered to farmers — and Nakuru Tubers is at the forefront of that change.
Extension as the Engine of Change
Extension services are not just about information — they’re about connection. They are the crucial link between research and the realities of smallholder farmers. When extension systems are weak, farmers are left behind. But when they are modern, integrated, and farmer-focused, they unlock growth, resilience, and food security.
A Collaborative Approach to Innovation
This week, Nakuru Tubers’ Digital Connectors are participating in a Training Workshop on Integrated Agricultural Extension Approaches, organized by:
- FAO
- AGRA
- African Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (AFAAS)
- Kenya Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (KeFAAS)
- China Agricultural University
This high-level workshop equips field agents with new tools, digital strategies, and people-centered methods for delivering extension more effectively.
Why Digital Connectors Matter
At Nakuru Tubers, Digital Connectors are the trusted allies of the farming community. They are trained to:
- Deliver timely, accurate agronomic advice
- Ensure access to certified seed and quality inputs
- Help farmers navigate climate challenges and crop diseases
- Bridge the gap between policy, science, and real-world practice
By improving how these services are delivered, Nakuru Tubers ensures that last-mile delivery is not a buzzword — it’s a daily reality.
A Commitment to Farmer Empowerment
Transforming food systems requires more than just improved infrastructure or policy. It requires empowered farmers who are supported by relevant, practical, and trustworthy guidance — when and where they need it.
With this training, Nakuru Tubers reaffirms its mission: to strengthen agricultural extension as a pathway to productivity, food safety, and rural prosperity.
