The KALRO Mkulima Video Training Portal is an interactive online platform designed to deliver practical, research-based agricultural training through videos to farmers, extension officers, agripreneurs, and other stakeholders across Kenya. Developed by the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), the portal serves as a central hub for accessing high-quality instructional videos on agricultural technologies, innovations, and best practices developed by KALRO scientists.
The portal aims to bridge the knowledge gap between research and the farming community by presenting information in a simple, visual, and mobile-friendly format. Farmers can easily learn from experts through short, topic-based video lessons that demonstrate Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs), climate-smart agriculture techniques, and value chain innovations relevant to their enterprises.
Through the Mkulima portal, users can:
Browse and watch training videos across diverse value chains including crops, livestock, fisheries, apiculture, and horticulture..
Download or share educational content with farmer groups or cooperatives.
Provide feedback, ratings, and comments to enhance future training materials.
The platform also integrates with the KALRO Digital Information Systems such as the KilimoBora Learning Centre, and KALRO Website, ensuring consistency and easy access to related research outputs, publications, and innovations.
Ultimately, the KALRO Mkulima Video Training Portal empowers farmers through digital learning, promotes knowledge sharing, and supports Kenya’s goal of achieving sustainable, climate-resilient, and market-driven agriculture.
