Regenerative Agriculture! A ray of hope for resource constraint farmers in drylands of Embu County
Overview
With climate change-induced risks becoming more evident across scales, in the beautiful region of drier parts of Embu County, nestled in the heart of the larger Mt. Kenya ecosystem, a group of determined resource constraint and small-scale farmers embarked on a journey to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change. Their home-grown strategy was to embrace regenerative agriculture practices with the aim of restoring sustainable landscape productivity, food and nutrition security as well as enhance farm level resilience and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The group of farmers seem to have a clear vision on their contribution to four of the global sustainable development goals Nos. 1 (poverty eradication), 2 (zero hunger), 13 (climate action) and 17 (partnerships).
