@citizentvkenya @citizentvkenya ask the scientist to explain more about Tela maize. I thought it was developed by AATF (African Agricultural Technology Foundation). Is KALRO the developer?

Erick Korir, National Biosafety Authority of Kenya: As the National Biosafety Authority, we are a government agency that is mandated by law to supervise and control the transfer, development, use, and handling of GMOs in Kenya. We are doing that to ensure that we protect ourselves, our animals, and provide an adequate level of protection to our environment. We do safety assessments on all the products of modern biotechnology, specifically GMOs. Any product that has passed through the authority and has been given a clean bill of health by the authority, we are saying it is safe #CitizenMondayReport

@Alvinkmuleshe @FarmersGuardian @Morrisons @kilimoKE Hi to you

From Kenya, I am proudly backing #FARM24 @FarmersGuardian @Morrisons @kilimoKE

How it is done. Training lead farmers so that they can teach their community members to grow more so that they can sell more.

It's crucial to share knowledge with lead farmers and change agents to improve production and boost productivity in farm enterprises. Sharing is caring. @RippleEffectNGO

@RippleEffectNGO @simondocvet Congratulations @simondocvet

Congratulations on this achievement @simondocvet 🎉🎉

Isaac Ogutu, Class of 2023 Marshal Papworth Sustainable Agriculture Course at @HarperAdamsUni has been selected to speak at this year's Harper Adams Annual Staff Conference. "I am so grateful for having gotten the opportunity to benefit from the Marshal Papworth scholarship."

Holding the exit strategy consultative meeting for the grain Amaranth farmers supported by AfriFI Kenya CS APP in Migori county. A very big step for Migori farmers to start contract grain amaranth seed production.

One of the farm technologies we teach the rural smallholder farmers we work with is keyhole gardening. A keyhole garden is a round garden made with a compost basket in the middle and a compost access section on one side. What are some of the advantages? 🧵 #garden #farm #rural

Understanding the right variety suitable in your area, getting quality planting material, enriching your soil with organic matter and getting right agronomic advice from experts is key towards successful fruits growing. #lowhangingfruis

Pineapples take about 12-24 months to reach maturity, depending on the variety.  Collaboration between farmers, researchers, extension services, and relevant stakeholders is crucial in overcoming possible challenges and ensuring sustainable pineapple farming. @kilimoKE

Improved forage grasses provide nutrients and high quality feed for livestock hence supporting the health and productivity of animals. Increased productivity of milk and meat provides good income for farmers.

Starting the new year with preparing farmers for the coming long rain season is so refreshing and a nice way to start a productive year. Learn more! Grow more! Sell more.

@MarshalPapworth @HarperAdamsUni On Mr. Neil's farm, I learned that if we want to get a good harvest of English potatoes, we should get planting material for clean sources free from pests and diseases. For him, he gets his potato planting materials from Scotland where viral and bacterial levels are minimal.

We love a little #throwbackthursday 🌎 💚 Our 2024 cohort of sustainable agriculture students exploring potato farming and energy with their @HarperAdamsUni course leads and farmer, Neil. Can anyone remember the top thing they learnt that day? #potatofarm #potatofarming

This is what we need to see: regenerative farming which protects and builds the land for the future as worthy of headlines when talking about #WorldFoodDay2023 @StandardKenya

"Today, I got the opportunity to share with the staff of Smart Dairy Farm in Kakamega County the experience and learning from @HarperAdamsUni during our study courtesy of Marshal Papworth. 👍 👏

Amazing crops growing on the @RippleEffectNGO demonstration plots in Kenya with our scholarship graduate Isaac! #Kenya #demonstrationfarmers #growmore

@MarshalPapworth @RippleEffectNGO @HarperAdamsUni After returning to my country I am on a mission to share what I learned at @HarperAdamsUni with the farming communities to help them learn more, grow more and sell more.

In Kenya, Isaac - one of this year's sustainable agriculture students working with @RippleEffectNGO - said: "Hope everyone is doing well & passing on the gift of training we received at @HarperAdamsUni courtesy of Marshal Papworth.

On a mission to inspire and equip Kenyan communities to unlock their potential, transforming lives and protecting the planet by helping them to learn more, grow more and sell more. @RippleEffectNGO @kilimoKE
