I recently challenged a friend on whether she understands the farming seasons in Kenya and across Africa, as well if she understands food systems.

She mumbled, but I could not blame her, because we forget most courses after graduation. In a continent as diverse as Africa, where most people do not have luxury of three meals, there is a need to understand food systems and the planting season. Being intentional about understanding what food systems is all about and when do we plant and when do we harvest is important for all of us.
