The Kenyan Peasants League (KPL) is now calling on the government to promote the production of indigenous crops and ensure access to seeds to mitigate effects of climate change.

The peasant farmers under KPL further want the government to address shortage of indigenous seeds and food, organic farm inputs and ensure access to markets.
