macherukaruku (2009) Electronic Agriculture in Kenya’s Arid and Semi–Arid Lands (ASAL) Schools Africa Rural Connect
Sustainable Environment and Agriculture Network (Seanet) International is a Kenyan registered NGO and a partner of One Dollar For Life (www odgl.org), a Silicon Valley (USA) high school students’ organization that collects one dollar per student per year in order to build small-scale infrastructure projects in the developing world.
The E-Agriculture methodology seeks to produce agricultural products including crops and livestock in Kenya’s ASAL Schools as a source of learning, food security and agri-business. The innovation will use an electronic medium to discuss, create and develop agriculture in ASAL schools. Where schools do not have Internet access, a printed version of the electronic newsletter will be distributed.
