"We cannot talk about nutrition, public health, or dignity without addressing the environments where people access food. This cold room is a small but powerful step toward justice for fish vendors and safer markets." Dr Elizabeth Kimani-Murage - #JusticeFirst! APHRC #UrbanFoodSystems #AfriFOODlinks



We’re excited to join the 2nd National Agroecology Symposium by PELUM Kenya & partners! Our director Crispus Kinyua will speak in a parallel session on 11th July on positioning hospitals as frontlines for agroecological transformation. We look forward to rich conversations!



“Agroecology promotes diversity on the farm—diversity that translates into better diets and plays a vital role in ending hunger and malnutrition.” Dr Elizabeth Kimani-Murage - #JusticeFirst! PELUM Kenya APHRC Wellcome #Visibilize4ClimateAction #AgroecologySymposiumKe #Right2Food


“Beyond food & the environment, agroecology strengthens mental health resilience, especially in drought-prone communities. By reducing the risk of total crop loss through diversified farming, it brings stability & eases the anxiety linked to food insecurity.” Dr Elizabeth Kimani-Murage - #JusticeFirst! APHRC



Day 2 of the #Agroecology Symposium was phenomenal! County CECs shared progress on agroecology policies—👏🏽 to Murang’a for leading the way, with many others making great strides. Big up to PELUM Kenya for championing this nationwide. More highlights coming soon! #FoodSystems


. 🐣 Nutrition justice starts at the plate. Choose ethically produced, nutrient-rich eggs. Eggs that nourish. Eggs that empower. Support smallholder farmers and local nutrition #JusticeOnYourPlate #EatRight #EggsForChange SUN CSA KENYA CARE Kenya Facilitator Onyango


Words that stirred the room: Rosinah Mbenya of PELUM Kenya reminded us that industrial farming hasn't delivered on its promises. As food production declines, agroecology offers a more just and sustainable path. #AgroecologysymposiumKE PELUM Kenya APHRC ActionAid Kenya



These words by Dr. Dr Elizabeth Kimani-Murage - #JusticeFirst! of APHRC during the second agroecology symposium resonate deeply, as Kenya grapples with the triple burden of malnutrition. Agroecology offers a people-centered, sustainable solution — linking nutrition, farming & nature. #Agroecology




These were our five key takeaways from the 2nd National Agroecology Symposium, where we were honored to serve on the planning committee. A standout moment was the call for governments to buy agroecological food for public institutions. Thank you PELUM Kenya for the opportunity!
