In Kenya, the specter of drought is never far from the minds of the millions who make their living on the farm.
Agriculture is Kenya's most important product. The industry employs nearly three quarters of the country's workers and accounts for almost one fifth of the nation's gross domestic product.
Drought threatens the livelihoods of tens of millions in Kenya, but those most at risk are the millions who farm simply to survive. For those farmers, drought is both an economic risk and a life threatening event.
Many subsistence farmers in Kenya invest their life savings into each harvest, and a single season of light rain can set a family back for years.
