How do you view soil?

Just dirt beneath our feet… or the foundation of life itself?

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization, nearly 33% of the world’s soils are degraded. That’s not just a farming problem — it’s a food, water, climate, and health problem too.

Can't wait to watch our organic veggies, herbs, and fruits thrive and fill the garden with pure goodness.

This is the beautiful beginning of growing that fresh, crunchy spinach and sweet, juicy carrots!

Nearly 60% of the world's uncultivated arable land is in Africa. Yet over 80% of the continent's staple food imports come from outside it. That's a connectivity gap, and trade policy is where it closes. Jerome Barbaron explains: https://t.co/sLflubYJw3 #CropLifeAME #AfCFTA

[CropLife Africa Middle East @CroplifeAME]

By 2050, 9.7 billion people will need feeding, mostly driven by growth in Africa and Asia. With limited arable land and a changing climate, agricultural innovation is essential. CropLife AME is helping ensure farmers can access the tools they need. #FoodSecurity

It’s just one plastic bottle”

that’s what we all say.

But that “one bottle” becomes millions when everyone thinks the same way.

Plastic pollution doesn’t start big. It starts with small, repeated habits we overlook.

Change begins when we stop normalizing “just one.”

Restoring soil health means rebuilding structure, organic matter, and biodiversity, so soil can hold water, cycle nutrients, and support plants ✨🌱

Here’s how to maintain healthy soil 👇

Is it not ironic that food produced for export often undergoes strict safety checks, yet food consumed locally does not always receive the same level of attention? Going forward, we must learn to look beyond price, taste, and appearance when choosing food. Affordable food is important, but it is not enough if the food is unsafe. As consumers, we should care about how our food is grown, stored, handled, and prepared. Food agency means making safety part of every food decision.

Food can look fresh, taste good, and even be nutritious, yet still cause illness if it contains harmful toxins, residues, or contaminants. Let us ask questions, observe good agricultural and food handling practices, and support farmers and sellers who maintain safe standards. Good food should not only satisfy hunger—it should also protect health.

Before many of us wake up, Mama Mboga is already at the markets, sorting food that will feed households across our cities. Through their labor, millions of Kenyan families access fresh, affordable food every day. They are traders and quiet custodians of our food system, who strive to ensure food reaches our tables.

Yet behind this essential role lies a daily struggle. Many Mama Mbogas work long hours under harsh conditions, balancing their businesses with unpaid care work at home. They face unstable prices, losses from spoilage, limited access to credit, and at times harassment in markets. Despite feeding our cities, their voices are rarely included in decisions about markets, food safety, and the future of our food systems.

On this #InternationalWomen’sDay, we must recognize Mama Mbogas not only as hardworking women in our markets, but as vital actors in Kenya’s food system and champions of everyday food security. A just food system must protect their dignity, improve market conditions, and ensure their voices are heard in shaping policies that affect their livelihoods.
When we support Mama Mboga, we support the women who nourish our nation.

We CAN feed the expected population of 9.7 billion by 2050 if we rethink HOW we produce our food.

Solutions exist. We need to adapt and implement them while reducing environmental, social & economic costs.
