@MWAUE @Makiadi_ Chemtai ataenda longrun and you will use that chance kumwambia uncle ameJoma

@Makiadi_ Imagine yule uncle wa Kiplombe, the one who almost bought Paul's bakery but opted to import Lelmet the high-yielding cow that is only milked by one person, Kimeli.........akikosea utatoa wapi nguvu and he is feeding you and your long-legged Chemtai?

Huko TikTok, nimeangukia video flani ya Abel Mutua akisema venye Wanaume huwa hatupendi kuambiana ukweli when one of us akikosea ama tukiona akipotea. Hii problem ilianzia wapi, yenye Wanaume tunaogopa kusema vitu “live live” venye ziko?

@Honcalebamisi @elonmusk Successful business people have limited dirty games like the ones you are describing. Let legislation take it's path and business will thrive best within it--the global market for fear is saturated

Dear brother Ruto,@elonmusk is not Uhuru. This one will peel you off ,wash you clean,mince you,fry you and feed you to global vultures ! Let's use brain not brawn!in handling cyber crime . #BrazilElection

@ntvkenya Great proposal

Eugene Wamalwa calls on govt to postpone the opening of schools over ongoing flooding "If adults can be swept away by floods, then children will not be safe"

@Jokobahi @ahmednasirlaw Good question indeed. BUT, but what happens to very good questions asked on such platforms? It's time motivate the development of scope for public funded institutions to retrieve use such feedback...

Why is the National Cereals and Produce Board compensating farmers for fake fertiliser supplied by a private company called MEMS? SURELY, how can a public body take the financial responsibilities of a private company? Why did NCPB in the first place pay billions to MEMS? Has MEMS now returned the money? Where is NCPB getting the money to refund farmer? Who are GODFATHERS behind MEMS? WHO is killing this national scandal in all the NEWSROOMS?

Sustainability debates need to be taken a notch higher to avoid the need for such high_level intervention. It's been clear in the past 10 years that donkey consumption was not sustainable. This should be the true lense for evaluation of investments thebrooke.org/news/african-u…

@thechelanga @kimtaimartin It was 'wageni moments'!

@kimtaimartin Who said bad? Farm shoes and gumboots are sexy but where are they? You can continue farming with Victoria Secrets

Farmers with designer shoes! World is wonderful place …stories of start ups in Kenya is stuff of legends

When you visit your Alma Mater and tell the kids that u were there more than 20 years ago! They are at awe coz they are all under 17, I bumped into my image with Prof. George Saitoti before I got beard and then joined a thanks giving service in Iten. @anthonyYano @kipmurkomen

Hi All 🙋‍♂️ I am looking for good examples of research in agricultural and resource economics that uses satellite data in any(!) way. Please share your favorites and your own! 🙏

@tabe_ojong @CRC228 Fantastic

Stoked to share the last paper from my PhD dissertation. We examine the roots of aspirations and show a positive association between group membership and aspirations (income, assets) as well as btw role models and aspirations @CRC228 sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Some 49 agriculture-based saccos, whose members are primarily farmers, topped in loan defaults last year as a biting drought hit the earnings of contributors. businessdailyafrica.com/bd/economy/far…

@LutzMerbold Sad! Mindset can be constraining

@nd_jensen @jameel_observ @GlobalAgEd @EdinburghUni Profound matching experience. Looking forward for more action and impact

I am excited to be starting my second week with the @jameel_observ at @GlobalAgEd @EdinburghUni. Thanks to the folks here for a great first week and I’m looking forward to our work together.

@NaphtalHa @MWAUE @tabe_ojong Social network is a great IV. It does it knows it's job

@kipsangar @MWAUE @tabe_ojong What were the instruments for this endogeneity? Hardworking and resilience? @kipsangar, remind me.

Some agriecon guys met. @kipsangar KE, the chair @tabe_ojong the prolific author Bamenda city loaned us @NaphtalHa the Kigali king. They all agreed we cant assess causality accurately while strictly holding vital things constant and unconditional rationality of agents.

@tabe_ojong @AgEconSoc Yep. It's a signal that markets exists and are doing a good job in absorbing production surpluses and filling consumption demand deficits. I guess someone will soon be motivated to jump into this and give more empirical insights. In any case you made a great start! Bravo

@kipsangar @AgEconSoc I think it's really a trade-off of profitability versus dietary diversity. Oil palm is profitably but displaces food production (dietary diversity). Farmers could in principle rely on income gains for nutrition but there exists significant room to increase these income gains.

In this published #OA paper in @AgEconSoc, we show that oil palm production is associated with lower dietary diversity for women, lower consumption of pulses, fruits and vegetables, and lower farm production diversity despite income gains in Cameroon. doi.org/10.1111/1477-9…

@HusseinTwario Good. These reliability networks may not exist or strong enough for the poorest in the communities. It's clear business model connecting the actors in this ecosystem and the role of development agencies will obviously be ranked the lowest by herders with reasonable herds.

Defining and gathering high-frequency and representative data for policy-relevant indicators from complex ecosystems like pastoral drylands can be a up-hill task. A great crew (cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/1…) took the bold step to develop a replicable and scalable protocol. Bravo!

The apex of data and insights. Greater if in good seasons it can provide optimal mechanisms craft resilient anticipatory actions. fraym.io/blog/how-commu…

@apurbashee_econ @Calum_Turvey @NRInstitute Yes! Identifying the optimal levels of credit for both demand and supply side in key!

Great to see that my article with @Calum_Turvey received enough citations to be a #topcitedarticle in its journal. @NRInstitute
