🌳Did you know some trees fertilize the #soil naturally?
Faidherbia albida drops its leaves in the wet season, enriching soil and boosting crops. In the dry season, it regrows—providing fodder for livestock. A win for #agroforestry systems.

A young man was critical of a Kenyan governor online.

The government is preparing to enforce the harshest farm regulations in the world in a move that will prevent more than three million farmers from selling fruits and vegetables in Kenya.
The mandatory rules, which the government has stated will be ‘anchored in law’, will mean only large farmers, companies, and importers will be permitted to supply fruit and vegetables in Kenya, with any trader buying fruit and vegetables from uncertified farmers facing stiff penalties.
The penalties will apply to middlemen, distributors, processors, or any direct buyer who purchases fruit and vegetables from any farmer who has not been certified as having implemented the 55-page, mandatory, KS1758 Kenyan standard.
Presented publicly as a food safety measure, the standard applies over 500 new rules for farmers that will cut off the supplies of over 90 per cent of the country’s locally consumed fruit and vegetables.
Farmers will be required to apply for NEMA licences to grow vegetables at a minimum cost of Sh10,000 per licence, carry out soil and water analyses at a cost of Sh2,500 to Sh5,000, pay for certification with a national or international standards certifier, and prepare dozens more records, including analysing the nutrient content of any compost or manure they use.
‘YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY’!
Do you all know how stupid an African president has to be and sounds, when he says his country has a robust human resource to ship to the developed world but can't use it to develop their own country.
Africans would rather import food from Ukraine - a country at war - than from another African country.
We import over $100 billion of food from other parts of the world but impose prohibitive tariffs on food from within African. Make it make sense
