Building robust value chains, promoting renewable energy, and integrating climate risk management are crucial for securing the future of agrifood systems in the face of ongoing climate change
Agrifood systems in Kenya are increasingly vulnerable to climate change, which impacts agricultural productivity, food security, and livelihoods. Erratic weather patterns, such as prolnged droughts and unpredictable rainfall, disrupt crop cycles, reduce yield, thus food shortages
To address these challenges, Kenya should explore climate-smart agriculture, enhance resilience through sustainable practices like agroforestry and conservation agriculture.
Community-based initiatives focusing on sustainable land management and protecting biodiversity are essential for preserving ecosystems. These combined efforts not only mitigate the impacts of climate change also foster resilience and long-term sustainable development in Kenya
Mitigative measures involve reducing carbon emissions by increasing the use of renewable energy sources like solar and wind, reforestation, and forest conservation to enhance carbon sequestration.

1/2 Witness the impactful journey of a coral reef restoration initiative! KMFRI Mombasa team led by Research Scientist, Dr @juliet_karisa began hands-on and immersive trainings to community members in Pate & Kiunga on the techniques necessary for effective coral reef restoration.
Around 1 million species now face extinction, many within the next few decades. We are facing multiple crises at the same time.
There is no time to waste. We are losing more than time every single day.
