Our climate is changing and all over the world we are experiencing more unpredictable and uncertain weather than in the past. Those depending on the weather for their daily bread – farmers and farm workers – are feeling, and will continue to feel, climate change more intensively than everyone else. East Africa has first-hand experience in climate change. It is predicted that long rains will decrease and droughts will be more common, resulting in food insecurity.
Greenpeace interviewed farmers and members of the organisations that support them in West and Eastern Kenya. The aim was to identify which practices are being used successfully to build resilience, and alternatively which practices increase vulnerability.
