Circular Agriculture Brochure final
Agriculture is all an integral part of the Kenyan way of life. While Kenya exports a lot of agricultural produce, many families have small pieces of land upcountry for personal use. Kenya has space and a good climate to grow horti and flori cultural produce. To mitigate climate change; increase food quality and security in Kenya, the uptake of adoption of sustainable, green, climate-smart, regenerative, circular, organic, and inclusive practices both on a larger scale commercial farming and on private level would contribute greatly. It is clearly high on the agenda of Kenya to become more sustainable. This is shown by the solid legislations as well as the good practices. Essential aspects to improve and create a sustainable, circular, regenerative agriculture are
soil quality, produce nutrition, natural fertilizers, farm to market improvements and innovative growing techniques that are in harmony with nature.
The Netherlands places a strong emphasis on agriculture and food, and it is the world’s second-largest exporter of agricultural commodities. The governments shift from aid to trade has necessitated the change in approach and relations with partner countries. The Netherlands Embassy in Kenya’s Food Security portfolio (from producer to consumer), is distinguished by a value chain focus and a market-led approach. The initiatives aggressively integrate Dutch knowledge providers and experience, as well as technology transfer, therefore contributing to the availability of safe, nutritious, and affordable foods for both domestic and Dutch markets.
