ROA has a vibrant network of farmer groups, government agencies, scientists and others doing various food security and nutrition activities in the field in western Kenya, and researchers can link to this network.
The organization’s work is also linked to AJFAND (African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development) started in the year 2001 by Prof Ruth Oniang’o, also founder of ROA, to provide an avenue of sharing scientific findings, and a mentoring platform for young African scholars and others interested in Africa’s food and nutrition issues. Prof Oniang’o is the Editor-in-Chief; the journal is Open Access and reaches the whole globe.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”]
