With over 15 years of agricultural teaching, advising and consultancy, Edwin Mbogo is well-qualified to work for the M-Kilimo farmers' helpline. Along with 13 colleagues, experienced in many specialist agricultural fields, Edwin takes calls from farmers on a wide range of farming issues. He talks to Eric Kadenge about the calls he gets, and the help he has been able to offer, as well as what he does if he gets a question he can't answer or that requires local advice.
