Shadrack Oguda
Context
Shadrack, a recent university graduate Gen z from Nyatike Kenya, ventured into farming as a side hustle while seeking employment. He relied on traditional methods, manually watering his crops which were mostly onions and tomatoes with a watering can, which was labor-intensive and inefficient. This approach limited his farm’s productivity and scalability.
Aspiration
Despite the challenges, Shadrack aspired to transform his small-scale farming into a sustainable, full-time business. He envisioned a modern farm that utilized efficient irrigation techniques to maximize yields and income.
Story
Shadrack’s turning point came when learned about the Legend Project, a collaboration between Irri-Hub and MEDA aimed at supporting smallholder farmers in Western Kenya. Through the project, Shadrack received:
A drip irrigation system that ensured efficient water usage.
Training on climate-smart farming practices, enhancing his agricultural knowledge.
Continuous support from agronomists, guiding him through the transition to modern farming.
With these resources, Shadrack revamped his farming approach, leading to healthier crops and increased productivity.
Outcomes
Today, Shadrack’s farm stands as a testament to the positive impact of embracing modern agricultural solutions. His yields have improved significantly, providing a steady income and food security for his family. Moreover, his success story has inspired neighboring farmers to explore and adopt similar practices, fostering a community-wide shift towards sustainable farming aside from mining and fishing that are very common in his area
