Mangoes are rotting in our farms this season- yet how many hospitals have deliberately procured them for patient meals? Fruits are clinically valuable, micronutrient-dense foods that support wound healing, immune recovery, appetite stimulation, and overall nutritional rehabilitation. In surgical wards, oncology units, and malnutrition cases, simple fruit purées, fortified juices, or enriched meals can meaningfully improve intake and recovery outcomes. Proper patient meals are part of therapy. Under the Ministry of Health, Kenya, hospital feeding is often treated as routine catering rather than therapeutic care. Yet it is entirely possible to align agricultural abundance with institutional procurement, reduce post-harvest losses, and serve patients fresh, nutrient-rich meals that aid recovery. When food systems and health systems work together, we strengthen farmers, protect public resources, and improve patient outcomes. Seasonal abundance should translate into clinical strength. #FoodJustice #RightToFood #ChakulaNiHaki #Agroecology @aphrc

"School feeding is an issue of human rights. By promoting school feeding, we are talking about promoting the #Right2Food, the right to nutrition, and the right to health of children." - @Liz_Kimani @aphrc @cchefs_idrc #CCHeFsImpact #ZeroHunger #FeedtheFuture

and justice that the world must now confront. Enjoy the summary: tinyurl.com/hrjpx4n4

As one of the five contributing authors, I’m pleased to share the Lancet Global Health synthesis of our regional perspectives for reforming the global health architecture. The publication doesn't give a blueprint, but offers deep critiques on financing, equity-sensitive metrics,

“Beyond food & the environment, agroecology strengthens mental health resilience, especially in drought-prone communities. By reducing the risk of total crop loss through diversified farming, it brings stability & eases the anxiety linked to food insecurity.” @Liz_Kimani @aphrc

At @UNFPA's Global Launch of the 2025 State of the World Population Report (SOWP) hosted at APHRC, the Center's Executive Director, @CKyobutungi, shared the following: "We welcome you to APHRC. This is the first time a launch of this kind by UNFPA has been held on African soil, and we are proud to host such an important event. APHRC isn't just a venue — we are a critical partner leading evidence generation and use. It is befitting that this launch is taking place here." Her three reflections on the report: ✅ Behind numbers are people, and the choices they make. The central theme of the report is about human dignity - everything we do is about people. ✅ Africa is often the subject, rather than a participant, in discussions about issues affecting its people. I am glad to see that Africans are part of the conversation. ✅ We live in interesting times - I hope that the launch is not the end, but the beginning of important discussions and a process that will positively impact people's lives across the world, reframing the conversation on what crises are affecting them. #TheRealFertilityCrisis #WeAreAfrica @amveyange @CwKabiru @Liz_Kimani @DMdiarafa @Sidze_APHRC @RatemoJuliet @aiajayi @agnes_kiragga @isabelmutuku1 @Wekesah @DKadengye @FlorahKarimi @dorcas_odhiambo @dibabay @WaithereroMaina @njerimbuthia @williamsila

Homegrown School Feeding Model is a powerful model that improves child nutrition, supports local farmers & accelerates progress on #ZeroHunger (#SDG2) & #GoodHealthAndWell-being (#SDG3). Our very own @Liz_Kimani & @Rithow_Alice make the case in @PeopleDailyKe. @aphrc

“To effectively address climate change, it's imperative to invest in climate mitigation approaches such as agroecology.” @Beatrice_Kiage @aphrc @Liz_Kimani @acopphe #Agroecology #Visibilize4ClimateAction #ClimateHealth #FFGG #APHRCResearch #ACOPPHE

#Agroecology integrates ecological principles with social considerations, offering a sustainable pathway to enhance food security, build resilience, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. @aphrc @Liz_Kimani @acopphe #Visibilize4ClimateAction #ClimateHealth #FFGG #APHRCResearch

Big win for food sovereignty! 🎉The Cabinet of West Pokot County has adopted a farmer-led #Agroecology Policy centering indigenous knowledge, soil health & biodiversity. Thanks to H.E @SimonKachapinK @GreenpeaceAfrica for championing safe, sustainable food! #WestPokot

"By supporting agricultural diversity on the farm, we can enrich our diets with a wider array of nutrients, thereby combating malnutrition and promoting better health." @Beatrice_Kiage. @aphrc #Agroecology #Visibilize4ClimateAction #ClimateHealth #FFGG #APHRCResearch #ACOPPHE

What drives smallholder farmers to plant trees? A new study in Rwanda shows that exposure to #agroforestry practices boosts adoption, especially with sustained engagement, access to seedlings and gender-responsive support. Read the study:➡️ bit.ly/3HxID83 #TreesPeoplePlanet

Just 39 days ago, we began setting up a garden at the Pumwani Maternity Hospital @pumumaternity in partnership with @National_Bank.

First harvest is due soon, bringing #Nutrition, #Agroecology and beautiful Greenery to this vital health facility. By #GrowYourOwn, Such institutions and schools can sustainably meet their vegetable needs #ZeroHunger #ShambaShuleni #SustainableGardens
