The Swedish International Agricultural Network Initiative – SIANI – is a global, open and inclusive network that supports and promotes multisector dialogue and action around our vision of sustainable, rights-based and inclusive food systems.
The Accelerating the Adoption of Agroforestry project was initiated to reduce the vulnerability of smallholder farmer in western Kenya to the effects of climate change by improving their livelihood and environments. The project follows an Asset-Based Community-driven Development (ABCD) approach. Photos feature some of the farmers in the Toben Gaa Self-help group who have made accomplishments over the years.

SIANI’s overall vision is a future where “food systems are more sustainable, rights-based and inclusive of smallholder farmers and marginalised groups.” SIANI’s mission is to “support and promote multisector dialogue and action around food systems transformation”, in Sweden and globally, with participation from academia, the private sector, public authorities and civil society. Our network offers an open and interactive platform for exchange on global issues around food systems, agriculture and poverty reduction.
We seek to contribute to change through:
