EMRC-Rabobank Project Incubator Award 2011
"Indeed, winning the prize was a defining moment for me and my business. It is difficult to put in words, exactly how I felt when my project emerged the winner. It sounded surreal like it was about someone else. It was only the following day that I truly believed my project had won. Winning this prize, means for me a vote of confidence on what I hope to do with smallholder farmers in the drylands of Kenya. It means there is business sense in working with smallholder farmers in Africa. It means a lot of attention needs to be focused on them."
