The iCow Way: Celebrating iCow Soil Advocates @ILRI for the great work they are doing in building back the soil biology on their farms and in their communities! ♥️ @FAOclimate @FutureForAll #soilmicrobesmatter

“Who is educating our farmers?” Susan Kahumbu Stephanou, CEO of Green Dreams TECH Ltd. At #AACOSE7, (May 2024), Susan challenged us to rethink how we grow our food. She raised critical questions about soil health, farmer education, and the long-term effects of ... 🧵1/4

@smutoro @kilimoKE @DrAndrewkaranja What is the need for any synthetic fertilizer without knowing the soil BIOLOGY???? Soil biology drives soil chemistry and nutritional density and health through plants, livestock and us.

Lee Njiru's apt prediction: "The Gen Z problem is not over yet, it is just a lull before another storm" #JKLive #GenZ ... For @kilimoKE CS @DrAndrewkaranja - Lee Njiru asks - where are the Agriculture Extension Officers in the rural areas (Devolved function but ... where is National Policy)? What is the need for subsidised fertilizer without knowing the applicable soil chemistry? @KenyaGovernors

@elonmusk Super cool!

@MissNasike @FrancisNgiri1 The discussion on seed must include the scientific facts. Seed sovereignty is a climate solution. The seed microbiome is sacred. Farmer custodians of heritage seeds should be lauded as national heros! youtube.com/live/dhrssLEyl…

Sometimes, one person/organization standing up makes a difference. These 15 farmers fearlessly stood up to defend their right to save,own share and exchange seeds. One of them is @FrancisNgiri1. You sir, are a courageous man. 🙌 Tupatane Machakos High court on the 24th.

I recall in 2022, when we were compiling court evidence against Kenya's punitive seed law. Many organizations avoided it, fearing funding loss or government closure, but farmers stood strong. Today, it's inspiring to see Kenyans following the case and supporting farmers.

@amerix Our Ag systems have destroyed our soils. Big pharma feeds us. We are consuming Pesticides. Kenyan foods are toxic. If we want to stop cancer, and infertility, and tumours in our families. We need to overhaul our Ag systems. ke.boell.org/en/2022/10/14/…

@Honeyfarsafi ♥️🙏🏽

Hello guys. Remember Rex and Evan’s? The first victims of this cruel regime. We have sent one million each to their families that’s their mum. The remaining will be sent to the family of Ian, who was shot three times on the back and won’t be able to walk again. This is minus the hospital bills. He will receive tomorrow since the bank limit can’t allow us today. @SirAlexas came through since my bank account had problems. I feel so relieved that they got this. Thank you so much guys🫶🏻🫶🏻

@HBSNairobi @warui_harun @SolomonSerwanjj @gatwiri_c @Donaldikenna1 @davidkabanda @mwatimajuma @kuria_sylvia @hbsNigeria Will join

Join us at 6 pm as we delve into the key insights from the #AFSH24 wrapping up today. Delegates from all corners of Africa have been exploring strategies to rejuvenate the continent's soil health. The big question: What's the next step? #AfricaSoilHealth twitter.com/i/spaces/1mnxe…

@SpokespersonGoK @MeteoKenya Should we be digging holes in a water saturated landscape? Will this not catalyse more soil erosion during this period? @MeteoKenya your report today suggests continued rain and floods in 31 of our 47 Counties. What is your advice about a national tree planting day during El Nino

Friday 10th May has been gazetted as the National Tree Growing Day. Tupande miti tulinde mazingira #JazaMitu

@HBSNairobi @boellza @hbsNigeria @BoellStiftung Absolutely!

#AFSH24 should explore the importance of soil health and the need to shift away from sole reliance on synthetic fertilisers, which remains an imperative discourse for sustainable agriculture in Africa. #ListenToTheLand @boellza @hbsNigeria & @BoellStiftung ke.boell.org/en/2024/05/02/…

@johnallannamu @AfUncensored We don't need synthetic fertilizers. They drive nutrient poor crops and sick people. Leading causes of medical attention in Kenya today r nutritional. Our soils r dead. Our Ag practices are responsible. Fixing our soils requires political goodwill to educate farmers on Regen Ag

Goodnight people. Thank you for all the love and support to our team @AfUncensored. Tunawapenda pia.
