Youth Demand for a Better Farming System as Kenya Celebrates World Food Day

As Kenya celebrates the World Food Day (WFD) today, youths from eight Kenyan universities have converged, at the Louis Leaky Auditorium- Nairobi National Museum, to debate on issues that the Government of Kenya needs to address in order to safe-guard Kenyans food security and protect consumers from the threats of a broken food system.  

With the expansion of mega mergers in the global food system, 60% of the world’s seeds will be controlled by three companies.  Greenpeace Africa will be supporting the youth in advocating and lobbying for improved policy to ensure smallholder farmers who constitute 30% of Kenya’s farming population, not corporations, control the food chain and determine how food is produced.
Kenya’s youth and Greenpeace Africa call on Kenya’s government to support  ecological farming by providing indigenous seed to farmers,  water for irrigation, training on modern and sustainable farming practices, refocus extension services and credit programmes and putting in place policies that are aligned to ecological farming practices.
