Kenyan growing local veggies in United Kingdom

Kenyan researcher Kipnyango Seronei, in a green house at Coventry, he has invested in planting of indigenous vegetables to service a huge demand in the United Kingdom.

?When Kimnyango Seronei moved to the United Kingdom 15 years ago, the last thing he thought he would miss about his home country was fresh vegetables. Not because Coventry, the city where he works as a researcher lacks greens, but because the variety available in Kenya is a luxury in the diaspora.

“We have always been trying to find out who is going back to Kenya for a visit so that we can ask them to bring back some indigenous vegetables. To live abroad means to be cut off from sources of fresh food we were used to," he says.
