It encompasses the role of research, academia, & private sector in driving the consumption of indigenous foods. The government's commitment to providing resources and a conducive policy environment for the adoption of modern technologies in indigenous food value chains.

The Restoration Factory is an innovative incubation program that was created to support the emergence of up to 50 Kenyan, commercially-viable, community-inclusive, and climate-resilient businesses that restore ecosystems and preserve landscapes.
