  Why Kenya Farms So Much but Still Worries About Food: The Fix Starts in the Field. Food security is not simply about how much food a country produces; it is about whether every person can consistently access sufficient, safe and nutritious food to live a healthy life. It rests on four interconnected dimensions: availability, access, utilization and stability. Availability asks whether enough food is produced, imported or stored to meet demand. Access considers whether households can afford that food and whether transport and distribution systems can deliver it where it is needed. Utilization concerns the nutritional quality, safety and proper preparation of food, while stability examines whether people can depend on these conditions throughout the year, including during droughts, floods, economic shocks and seasonal shortages. These dimensions explain why agricultural production alone cannot guarantee food security in Kenya. A strong maize harvest, for example, does not autom...

  Kenya stands at a pivotal point in its journey toward energy independence and agricultural sustainability. As the country faces growing challenges from frequent power outages and the need for more efficient farming practices, two groundbreaking sectors have emerged as potential game-changers: geothermal energy and green hydrogen. These technologies, alongside innovations in sustainable ammonia and fertilizer production, offer Kenya an unprecedented opportunity to transition to renewable energy while simultaneously improving agricultural productivity. "By integrating green hydrogen with geothermal power, Kenya can revolutionize its agricultural sector, creating eco-friendly fertilizers that not only boost crop yields but also protect the environment for generations to come." This article dives deep into how these advancements can address pressing national issues, such as unreliable electricity and food insecurity, and examines the transformative potential of thes...
