Let’s make farming noble profession

Kenyans in general have ‘peculiar’ feeding patterns, something that extensively affects food supply. Most of us over rely on certain foods to the point that we cannot substitute them for others even when they are not readily available.

For instance, residents in Western and Nyanza provinces cannot do without ugali (a by-product of maize). This replicates to our farming practices where most farmers plant the same type of crop year in year out. The North Rift region is currently having excess supply of maize, with most farmers lacking market for their produce.
