To safeguard Kenya’s food heritage, nine students from Egerton University recently completed a specialized training programme on documenting traditional foods that are slowly vanishing but remain rich in health benefits.
In the heart of Egerton University’s Main Campus lies a laboratory that is transforming the country’s agricultural sector. The Safe Food Reference Laboratory (SAF-Lab), funded by the National Research Fund, is a hub of innovation, research, and practical solutions. At the forefront of this revolution is the Aloe Secundiflora Innovation Project, led by Professor Charles Muleke Inyagwa.
BREEDTECH is a three year (2024-2027) cross regional project which has brought together a consortium of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). The project involves, ten partner and one associate partner institutions from seven countries (Kenya, Ethiopia, Palestine, Italy, Sweden, Serbia and Austria).
In a significant step towards bolstering efforts in food security and agricultural innovation, Egerton University welcomed a delegation from the World Food Programme (WFP) to its campus.
