Rosemary Namatsi graduated from the University of Nairobi gaining a B.Sc. in Agriculture in 2001. Before finding employment, she travelled around Kenyan farms with a veterinary surgeon treating animals and advising farmers on food production. She became aware of the plight of many small-scale farmers at a time when farm inputs were becoming very expensive. In 2007 she took responsibility for training programmes in Manor House Agricultural Centre [1]. This centre provides certification in sustainable agriculture for small-scale farmers, enabling them to farm without costly inputs. What she learnt attending Farmers' Dialogues helps her with team building and motivating farmers and students to be committed in food production.
