Kelvin Ombongi, 27, stands in a classroom in southeastern Israel, far from his native Kenya.
He’s been at the Arava International Center for Agricultural Training (AICAT) in Sapir since 2019, learning advanced Israeli farming methods that he hopes to plow into a career in urban agriculture back home.
Graduates of AICAT, he says, are featured in the Kenyan media and sought after by employers.
