Kenya's Slow Move from Food Aid to Food Security
Update: 2024-08-20
Description
Food security is an issue that Kenya continues to struggle with. Kenya is often ranked poorly in food security, primarily due to the cost of this food. This in spite of agriculture’s contribution to the economy - 21.8% this year according to KNBS.
Rain fed agriculture, inconsistent agricultural policies and perennial drought are some of the major issues that make it harder for people to access food.
We are joined by Nelly Madegwa, who has written severally on this issue and shares with us lessons on how the country can be more food secure. She is a Kenyan Freelance Journalist, and a Fellow with the African Women Journalism Project, as well as Pulitzer Center's 2024 Persephone Miel Fellow.
