Kenyans have been urged to grow trees as a source of income and in the process rejuvenate soils for increased food production while at the same time beating the effects of climate change.

Speaking at Konza Technopolis in Machakos County on Thursday, Green Africa Foundation chairman Isaac Kalua Green, who led other environment conservationists in planting over 1,000 seedlings, said droughts and water scarcity can be reversed if all Kenyans were encouraged to grow trees in their farms and open spaces.
