"In order to sustain small-scale farmers and communities, we must move away from industrial agriculture and toward diversified, regenerative, and locally appropriate food systems." Our Kenyan fellow, @muli_kelvin57 shares his thoughts on #COP28 and adaptive food systems.
A challenge that most urban dwellers have in making their diets healthier and more diverse is the actual task of finding these whole foods e.g cereals. #TransformFoodKE #HealthyFoodSystems
