Thank you Mheshimiwa,motivating to young producers!

[Hon. Jaguar @RealJaguarKenya]

I started doing odd jobs at an early age. Life is a struggle. Slowly, I moved into music because I had a passion for it. Then I got into politics. What most people don't know is that I'm also a passionate farmer. Today I'm checking on my cows. Diversify. It'll help you a lot.

@NjorogeAnnie @farmingfirst @KESSFFKenya @farmerscornerng @FarmKenya254 @rodgers_kirwa @kilimoKE @IndustryKE @HamadiIddiBoga @PeterMunya The problem is , painfully , it will not be enforced! It is much of a heart/honesty problem. In Africa we need innovations on how to deal with our hearts!

If Agriculture is going to foster transformation in Africa, how come only 2% of University students on the continent study it?

[KilimowatchKE @Kilimowatch1]

@CalebKaruga @IrriHub #Agribusiness success is a factor of biology (plant growth)and marketing(shouting), the worst combination. These two are never this straight, #investors must sweat,no short cut. This #scheme might be take from Peter pay James, take from Jane pay Peter!

[KilimowatchKE @Kilimowatch1]

Due to high levels of Aflatoxins,i.e over 10 ppb (parts per Billion), KEBs has ordered withdrawal of some brands from Kenyan shelves, Bravo!The main question is, how do we deal with maize in our stores, in shops etc?

@limbua_mercy @diangaronald @RugalemaGabriel @HamadiIddiBoga @That_A_Lady @ezrashedracks @IrriHub @iamVicmugo @Kilimowatch1 @kilimoKE @rodgers_kirwa Food production will never match the ever growing population. In as much as there isan outcry about food insecurity, there is alot of food being wasted, alot going bad due to poor storage and alot going bad due to contamination #zerowaste #ZeroHunger it is a malticomplex issue.

[Mr. Agriculture 👩‍🌾 @rodgers_kirwa]

Youth are the voice of the future. I choose to use my voice in the agriculture industry. Whether it be by attending agriculture shows and seminars, through posting photo's of my farm on @Facebook, @Twitter,@instagram or teaching others about the Agriculture.

@agroguild1 @iEmpofarmers @Awan_Afrika @rodgers_kirwa @limbua_mercy @KenaravaGroup @diangaronald @ezrashedracks @Kilimowatch1 @Cropnuts Traceability ain't complex, all Kenya's exports have it. Replicate to serve Wanjiku.

[Ms. Mercy Limbua. #IsupportSDG2 @limbua_mercy]

I am disappointed this morning."we have enough resources to feed Kenyans" a frequent word said.But then we have an increase rate of #Foodinsecurity as there is a rise of 1.5M Kenyans going to bed hungry and even without a glass of water. What is been done wrong? #FNS #Big4agenda

[KilimowatchKE @Kilimowatch1]

alas! a Country is not able to feed her people in 21st Century 😥 shame! Shame!Shame!

[Kenarava Group Ltd @KenaravaGroup]

@FAODirector-General, Qu Dongyu asserts that 240 million #Africans suffer from #hunger while the world has the knowledge and resources to end this phenomenon.

What is lacking? Had Food become political? Why Africa & not the of the World?

[The Farmercist @CalebKaruga]

Scam alert!
Please tell your relatives to avoid the ongoing 'outgrower' scam in Poultry rearing. The briefcase company promises to buy all the eggs & meat upon maturity, claiming they're exporters. Once you've made a deposit for chicks & feeds, they disappear! #UkulimaSioUshamba

[Mr. Agriculture 👩‍🌾 @rodgers_kirwa]

A visit to David Njenga (24yrs) ,a young farmer in Ruaka, Kiambu County. He does #capcicum & many other #vegetables.

There's nothing I believe in more strongly than getting #young people interested in #agriculture for a better tomorrow, for all humankind.

Four reasons why you should embrace Organic Farming
1. Reduced production costs-No need to buy expensive chemicals and fertilizers.
2. Increasing consumers willing to pay more for organic foods
3. Organic farming promotes biodiversity
4. Soil health is improved
