The crisis of inadequacy and lack of sustainability in Agriculture and Food Security systems in Africa is widely felt and acknowledged. The African continent is still food insecure and the threat of intensive external-input based agricultural practices to the agro-ecosystems is becoming more and more evident. More people are developing illnesses related to the food they consume, while animal and plant health steadily deteriorates. The use of synthetic pesticides has already proven to be detrimental to the soils and plants, while the use of genetically modified seeds has cannibalized indigenous seed species that are resilient to the climate of Africa and therefore alternative efforts are required to deal with these challenges.

Against the aforementioned background Biovision Africa Trust (BvAT) started its operations in 2011 in Kenya, working with smallholder farmers to increase agricultural production and improve human, animal, plant and environment health through providing relevant and effective information based on research and proven practice. BvAT is currently implementing its Strategic Plan for the period 2021 – 2024.
