More than 6000 young farmers in Homa Bay County can now breathe a sigh of relief after the implementation of a poverty eradication programme through soya bean production.
The farmers aged between 18 and 35 years from all 12 sub-counties in Homa Bay now regard the project as a ladder for escaping poverty.
The initiative undertaken by Farm Africa through a programme dubbed Youth in Sustainable Aquaculture (YISA) recruited 80 per cent female farmers and 20 per cent male farmers.
