About 30 small-scale farmers from Kiambu, Meru, Machakos and Makueni counties have begun a four-day campaign to promote chemical-free farming.

The campaign will start in Thika and stop in Machakos, Makueni and Nairobi where they will exhibit chemical-free farm products, share farming techniques and distribute seeds.
