"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

“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

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

Dr. Daniel Maingi delivered a powerful presentation on digital innovations in agroecology. It was a timely reminder that agroecology, contrary to popular belief, is not just about “ancient” farming. Tech & agroecology can & should work hand in hand for a more sustainable future.

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

Dr. David Amudavi reminded us that many orgs are driving real change with farmers — from production to research and value addition. Sadly, much of it goes undocumented. Sharing our impact is key to unlocking greater support and scaling agroecology. 🌱 #AgroecologyKE

Jeffrey shared that through GIZ’s AgSys work in 8 African countries, agroecology is now part of national strategies and policy dialogues. It’s encouraging to see momentum growing across the continent for more sustainable and resilient food systems. #AgroecologyKE

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!

Tomatoes are Kenya’s most consumed vegetable, but also a symbol of deep problems in our food system: toxic pesticides, climate harm, and underpaid farmers.. The future lies in producing tomatoes that are safe to eat, fair to grow, and kind to the environment. #FoodJustice
