Small-scale farmers in developing countries will receive a Sh16.5 billion ($200 million) grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to improve production.
The foundation’s co-chairman Bill Gates said the funds would be re-invested in projects that support the development of 34 new varieties of drought tolerant maize, livestock vaccine and train some 10,000 “agro dealers to equip and train farmers” on better farming methods.
