Cultivating Diversity: Kenya’s Bold Vision for Resilient Food Systems

Imagine a Kenya where vibrant urban markets overflow with indigenous greens, youth in peri-urban areas lead Agri-tech startups, and rural cooperatives thrive as they steward regenerative farming methods.

Diversification has been widely identified as a strategy with great potential to build better resilience, nutrition, and equity across Kenya.
