When Fred Munene, now in his mid-30s, embarked on his journey as a farmer, he did not start on a sprawling irrigated farm. All he had was a dream, a worn-out water pump and just Sh20,000 in his pocket.
In 2015, Fred was managing a farm for someone else and he felt he excelled at it. "I was helping others succeed," says the trained agronomist, adding, "deep down I wanted to build something of my own."
