Rhoda @rhodaodongo presenting her research on #drought propagation in East Africa. Very interesting patterns in link between metro drought and soil moisture / hydro drought, possibly related to aridity & geology. More to come! #IAHS22 @D2E_Project

Urban & Peri-Urban Pastoralism: Is it a critical family farming/food system in the cities? They provide milk & meat to several households; and supply manure for peasant farming and sustenance of the green spaces. Do they deserve consideration in planning of urban spaces?

[oliver wasonga @oliverwasonga]

@simba_guleid Now, this is real internship and a real pastoralist we have there!
