A thread on important data sources (links) for competitive Agriculture solutions

[Financing Agri-food Systems Sustainably @FINASAfrica]

With unpredictable weather patterns impacting farming communities, how do we protect both lenders and smallholder farmers?

The answer lies in systemic, climate-resilient solutions.

At the #FINAS2026 Summit, we are hosting a dedicated side event (comprising of experts from UNDP, Acre Africa, CGIAR, Drive Kenya, FSD Africa, ILRI, APA Microinsurance, and FSD Kenya ) focused on embedding insurance right into agricultural lending. Whether it’s crop or livestock systems, de-risking finance is the key to unlocking true agricultural potential in Africa.

In the news: Kenya urged to rethink agriculture financing as global funding shrinks

Speaking ahead of the Financing Agri-Food Systems Sustainably (FINAS) 2026, Financial Sector Deepening Kenya (@FSDKe ) Agriculture Finance Lead Jared Ochieng said African countries must build stronger and more sustainable financing systems."

Serious safeguarding oversight by having CCTVs in hostels. 7 instigators might need rehabilitation - don't think they thought that far + consequences! Might be a case of teenage rebellion that turned tragic!!!

Ships still aren’t moving through the Strait of Hormuz. Fertilizer delays are forcing farmers to pay more or cut use. They need timebound, targeted help. With right policy and diplomacy, nations can still avert a global food crisis.

What if the promise of education in Kenya was never about true empowerment, but about shaping minds for someone else’s agenda? As classrooms became battlegrounds for inequality and politics, neoliberal reforms shifted our focus from collective liberation to identity debates and elite success stories. For millennials raised in this era, history faded while expectations soared. Are we achieving more but understanding less?
