@LarryMadowo You have to, especially when the face of your motherland is being wrecked.

@Honcalebamisi @elonmusk Successful business people have limited dirty games like the ones you are describing. Let legislation take it's path and business will thrive best within it--the global market for fear is saturated

@ntvkenya Great proposal

[Philemon Chelanga @kipsangar]

@Jokobahi @ahmednasirlaw Good question indeed. BUT, but what happens to very good questions asked on such platforms? It's time motivate the development of scope for public funded institutions to retrieve use such feedback...

[Philemon Chelanga @kipsangar]

Sustainability debates need to be taken a notch higher to avoid the need for such high_level intervention.

It's been clear in the past 10 years that donkey consumption was not sustainable.

This should be the true lense for evaluation of investments

Some 49 agriculture-based saccos, whose members are primarily farmers, topped in loan defaults last year as a biting drought hit the earnings of contributors. https://t.co/DtqfWWCOHe

@LutzMerbold Sad! Mindset can be constraining

[Philemon Chelanga @kipsangar]

@nd_jensen @jameel_observ @GlobalAgEd @EdinburghUni Profound matching experience. Looking forward for more action and impact

@NaphtalHa @MWAUE @tabe_ojong Social network is a great IV. It does it knows it's job

[Philemon Chelanga @kipsangar]

@tabe_ojong @AgEconSoc Yep. It's a signal that markets exists and are doing a good job in absorbing production surpluses and filling consumption demand deficits. I guess someone will soon be motivated to jump into this and give more empirical insights. In any case you made a great start! Bravo

[Philemon Chelanga @kipsangar]

@HusseinTwario Good. These reliability networks may not exist or strong enough for the poorest in the communities. It's clear business model connecting the actors in this ecosystem and the role of development agencies will obviously be ranked the lowest by herders with reasonable herds.

[Philemon Chelanga @kipsangar]

Defining and gathering high-frequency and representative data for policy-relevant indicators from complex ecosystems like pastoral drylands can be a up-hill task. A great crew (https://t.co/Fw5Evho4IL) took the bold step to develop a replicable and scalable protocol. Bravo!

The apex of data and insights. Greater if in good seasons it can provide optimal mechanisms craft resilient anticipatory actions. https://t.co/9T0Fhp1KX2
