In Ghana and Kenya, rural communities adopt innovative solutions to strengthen food security  

Innovative solutions developed by local innovators can minimize those consequences during the dry season and strengthen resilience. 
 
In Ghana, an organization has established dry-season gardens using solar water pumping machines and helped set up village savings and loans mechanisms. The organization provides farmers with tools, seeds and training to cultivate vegetables and fruits in the dry season. 
 
In Kenya, a local innovator is experimenting with local leaves, herbs and mineral salts to develop an affordable, sustainable meal product for dairy goat keepers. This innovation has already boosted livestock productivity, positively influencing food security and local incomes.
