Planting and taking care of trees, and passing on this knowledge to young people,is a good agroecology practice on regenerating the earth and creating hope for the future generations @HonTuya @scope_kenya_ @RescopeProgramm @angela_aef

[SCOPE KENYA @scope_kenya_]

School gardens teach children about more than just growing food. When children are fed, they learn and when they learn they create new opportunities for growth for themselves and for the community around them. Healthy school=Healthy Community #agroecologyinschools #permaculture

[SCOPE KENYA @scope_kenya_]

Why should schools demonstrate the education we want for the future?
Young people are the future of our nation
They are quick and open learners and can take home the knowledge acquired at school
The power of youth is common wealth for the entire world. #Empoweringschools

@joesfreshfarm @scope_kenya_ @foodcoopkenya @KarenNekesa @kipsingar @BIBA_Kenya @PelumKenya @purity_shiro_ @albertKatruGuma Through a combination of practices e.g stop using chemical or industrial fertilisers, add organic matter/manure, observe crop rotation, stop erosion, and always make sure the soil is covered with a thick layer of green or dry matter among others.

[John @JohnMacharia202]

Monocropping encourages the build up of pest and diseases, resulting In misuse of agro chemical farming inputs, and biodiversity loss In agroecology, we promote diversity, crop rotation and mulching.@RescopeProgramm @HakiNawiri @FundAgroecology @scope_kenya

[John @JohnMacharia202]

Water harvesting & storage for agricultural use is an important agroecology practice, which supports growing of crops even during the dry season. Let us equip women and youth with knowledge &skills in making water harvesting structure in the garden.@RescopeProgramm @HakiNawiri

[John @JohnMacharia202]

Women are the backbone of household economy, food & nutrition security. Empowering them with knowledge and skills in water/runoff management through agroecology will go along way in improving production & mitigation of climate change. @RescopeProgramm @HakiNawiri @scope_kenya_

[Mongabay @mongabay]

In Kenya, small-scale onshore aquaculture combined with sustainable agroecology practices is boosting food security & incomes for smallholder farmers. Though the farms are small, a large amount of protein can be raised in fish ponds filled with rainwater.

As COP27 discussion on climate change dwindles, young people have taken practical initiative of planting & nurturing trees, as their contribution toward climate change mitigation measures. @RescopeProgramm @HakiNawiri @kipsingar @KarenNekesa @scope_kenya_ @ClimateFunds @ISFAAKE

[John @JohnMacharia202]

Growing diversity of food crops through #agroecology practices ensures natural protection from pests, reduce weed growth, reduced moisture loss, and improved access to safe chemical free nutritious food @KarenNekesa @NetworkofIndig1 @FundAgroecology @HakiNawiri @helenpitel
