As the world marks World Food Day, research into underutilized crops such as edible Enset, which can thrive in dry climates, offers new possibilities for strengthening food security and diversifying food sources in Kenya.

Native to Ethiopia, edible Enset is a promising crop with potential to supplement existing food sources and contribute to more resilient food systems.

Fiona Chepngโ€™eno, a Master of Science student in Food Science and Technology at JKUATโ€™s College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, is among the first researchers in Kenya to study this plant, exploring its potential in the country.

In this video, Fiona explains her research and why edible enset deserves attention as we seek sustainable ways to improve food security.

The Wheelchair Service and Learning Centre at Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) is attracting interest as a model for expanding access to appropriate wheelchair services across Africa.

On Monday, October 12, 2026, the Centre welcomed Stephen Hunter and Anne Hunter from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who visited to learn from its approach with a view to replicating the model in other African countries.

The delegation was received by project lead Dr. Mwangi Matheri, alongside Jacob Kitiyo and Charles Kanyi of Motivation Africa, a key partner supporting the Centre.

The Centre, which works with peer trainers such as Catherine Waiyego and Lucy Mueni (pictured next to the mobility training track), provides wheelchair assessment and prescription services while offering practical training for JKUAT Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy students.
