Differentiating agroecology from conventional agriculture is key, as Kenya’s conventional methods often lead to soil degradation and loss of biodiversity. Could this awareness shift farming practices towards a greener future? #AgroecologyVsConventional #GreenFarming

With Kenya’s population projected to hit 65 million by 2050, #agroecology must be considered a viable solution for food security. Can it truly provide enough food for a growing population while protecting ecosystems? #FoodSecurity #Agroecology

#Foodsafety and quality are critical in agroecological products, offering healthier and safer alternatives for Kenyan consumers seeking sustainable options. Could this lead to a wider demand for naturally grown, chemical-free food? #FoodSafety #ConsumersInAgroecology

Mainstreaming agroecology in Kenya faces challenges like lack of policy support, infrastructure, and consumer awareness. Could overcoming these barriers help unlock the full potential of sustainable agriculture? #ConsumersInAgroecology #FoodSystems

Kenyan consumers have the power to support agroecological practices by making informed choices, reducing food waste, and advocating for sustainable farming. How might consumer behavior influence the growth of agroecology in the marketplace? #EcoConscious #ConsumersInAgroecology
