Sorghum is an important food security crop that can thrive in a variety of climates. It has wide adaptation owing to its climate resilience traits such as drought and heat tolerance. The Genetic Resources Research Institute (GeRRI), Kenya has a huge collection of sorghum ecotypes collected from diverse regions, mainly around Africa. This collection whose size is about 6,000 accessions has great potential for enhancing small holder farmers’ climate resilience for improved food security. In an effort to exploit this potential, GeRRI has supported farmers to conduct participatory variety selection with the aim of selecting their preferred ecotypes. This subset comprises of 88 accessions selected by farmers in Kakamega, western Kenya from a pool of 1,841 accessions. This subset was selected by 49 farmers, with the key selection criteria being plant height, panicle size, panicle colour and extent of damage by birds. It can be used directly by farmers or can be used in sorghum improvement programmes to develop superior varieties.
