@KeesBloklandPhD This is so disheartening to read indeed. How do we, in Africa get ourselves from the sinkhole? I believe more emphasis should go to building Intra-Africa Trade which is lowest globally.

Without innovation, smallholder farming systems will remain unsustainable esp on the verge on #Climatechange #Youths therefore are the hope to make SH farming systems sustainable through innovative agric technologies @Agriterra @crafteastafrica

Today we concluded a youth-kickoff workshop for 3 Coops, Nandi, Kaplomboi, and Marakwet supported by @crafteastafrica.Exciting to see youths motivated and geared to take up leadership roles within their respective Coops. They are also championing the adoption of CSA practices

For sure!! #Cooperatives are farmer-led enterprise, they own their #business,they can adapt to simple and affordable #strategies (financially sustainable) #IncreasedIncome e.g. Use of improved seeds can be scaled via sustainable service provision!!

It is the high time we reform our policy on agriculture if we are to curb the ever growing food shortage.a systems approach addressing public extension,markets,cost of production,farm economics etc is needed as opposed to just subsidy @ephraimnjegafan

I have done a chart of maize production over the last 20 years. You will notice the production patterns follow the climatic conditions prevailing. When the rains are good. 🧵

[Patrick kagathi @Pmkagathi]

Indeed Farmer cooperatives play key role in farmer resilience building!they complements public extension services,create market access for small holder farmers and reduce transation costs for trading with shfs
