What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to drive sustainable agricultural practices and empower communities through innovative solutions.

I am Grace Misoi, a dedicated professional with extensive experience in sustainable agriculture, particularly in the cultivation of Azolla for animal feeds. As the Director of the Participatory Ecological Land Use Management (PELUM) in Kenya, I have been instrumental in promoting innovative agricultural practices that enhance food security and environmental sustainability.

My work involves educating farmers on the economic value and cultivation techniques of Azolla, a nitrogen-fixing aquatic fern. I have developed comprehensive training content that covers everything from the requirements for Azolla growth to the steps in its cultivation. My passion lies in empowering communities through knowledge sharing and practical solutions that improve livestock nutrition and overall agricultural productivity.
