Great to visit this #farmer in #Makueni #Kenya to learn how she grows #greengrams using a ripper & application of manure & a soil conditioner in the rip lines. Variety is Biashara from @kalromkulima. Good example of #soilmanagement & #climatechange adaptation #SaveSoilMovement

You can replace your dress.

You can replace your phone.

You can replace your bike.

But you CANNOT replace the Planet. The climate crisis is real.

The time to take #ClimateAction is NOW.

Particularly in emerging economies, #ruralwomen are important yet under-utilized agents of change, playing central roles as:

🌽food producers
🔪processors
🤝traders
🛒 retailers

It is critically important for climate change mitigation, ecosystem restoration, and it is where our food begins.

[rowze_nzuki @NzukiRowze]

[rowze_nzuki @NzukiRowze]

Despite the success stories, the question of crop insurance & input financing is a gap that needs more attention to address low farmer adoption. #partnerships with farmers need to be created to address challenges of delayed credit repayment due to prolonged drought & poor harvest

[rowze_nzuki @NzukiRowze]

Group discussions highlight the success stories #SMEs & #Cooperatives working with @crafteastafrica such as access to financig for scaleup, staff capacity building, job creation for the youth, market access, product diversification & increased visibility @SNV_AgriFood
