The New Agriculturist podcast, showcasing highlights of the current edition of the New Agriculturist

The poor condition of many rural roads causes frustrations and delays for millions of people across the world every day. For farmers and other rural businesses, poor roads also mean high transport costs, cutting into their profits. Unfortunately, in many cases government resources to improve rural roads are inadequate. The opening report in this month’s pack – Community action to improve rural roads – features the work being done by two community parliaments in Kenya to improve their local transport situation. The parliaments are mobilising people to work in groups to carry out improvements, and have been able to access local authority funds, as well as technical support. The parliaments are also helping the communities to have their voice heard by local politicians. In one of the communities the improvements have already had a significant impact in reducing transportation prices.
