Through a USAID program promoting drought-tolerant crops, smallholder farmer Jane Kisia in Kenya switched from inconsistent rain-fed crops to sorghum, which thrives in her region's soils and with little rain. She harvested her highest yield ever of 69 bags of sorghum from just 3.75 acres. With the profits, she built her son a house, leased land for rice farming, and paid off loans, having enough grain left over to last the season. USAID programs like this one training over 63,000 smallholders in drought-resistant techniques and markets have boosted incomes and food security for many rural families in Kenya.
