Farmer Communication Programme

Did you know? 💡
With training from Biovision Africa Trust, farmers are using Zaï pits to plant up to 9 maize plants in a single pit. By digging a 2-foot wide and deep pit, mixing topsoil with manure, and planting in one spot, farmers improve soil fertility, conserve moisture, and boost yields.

A simple, climate-smart tip making a big difference on small farms.

🟤 KENYA’S SOILS ARE SENDING US A WARNING 🚨

32% of Kenya’s arable land is now strongly acidic—and when all acidic soils are included, the figure rises to over 60%. This is the same land where our food should grow. Out of 143 million hectares, only 12–18% is arable, so losing such a big share to acidity threatens our food security.

At the same time, 70% of Kenyan soils lack enough organic carbon, the “food” that keeps soil organisms alive. Soil is living. It depends on microorganisms and macroorganisms—so when we don’t feed it with organic matter, the soil dies, yields drop, and farmers suffer.

To restore productivity, we must go organic through composting, mulching, and better soil care. Healthy soils = Healthy harvests = A food-secure Kenya.
