Smallholder Farmers
The current economic bedrock of Kenya rests on the Swynnerton Plan of the 1950's.
This was an agricultural plan formulated by R.J. M. Swynnerton who was an agricultural officer and its goal was empowering small holder African farmers to be able to plant and own cash crops.
The plan was funded with a grant of 5 million pounds from the British Government.
Tundamoto project, 70 years later, will have an order of magnitude more impact than the colonial government Swynnerton plan.
ASAL lands account for over 80% of the land mass of Kenya.
