🌱 Farm Kenya airs today at 3 PM! We're diving into agroecology — a sustainable approach to farming that could redefine how we grow our food. 🌾🍅 Is this the future of our plates? Tune in and join the conversation! 💬👩🏾‍🌾🌍 Host: Peter Wakaba Producer: paul thiongo

Phillis Nduva, Farmer from Makueni County: Agroecology is all about restoring nature; after taking your farm produce, the other part you leave it on the farm, making your soil more fertile. Host: @PeterWakaba Producer: @Paultmv #FarmKenya #ChekiKTN

Dennis Kimani, Agronomist: The yellow and red capsicums start off as green. Whatever makes them turn depends on the pollinators & where we farm (open field or indoors). Host: @PeterWakaba Producer: paul thiongo #FarmKenya #ChekiKTN

Dennis Kimani, Agronomist: I would recommend the hybrid seeds for bell peppers because they are resistant to diseases, and the quality & quantity are usually high. Host: @PeterWakaba Producer: paul thiongo #FarmKenya #ChekiKTN

Dennis Kimani, Agronomist: With capsicum, the demand is high. I usually advise farmers that if you have a product that is already in the market, have another one that in a month will be on the market. Host: @PeterWakaba Producer: paul thiongo #FarmKenya #ChekiKTN

What's the best way to plant capsicums? Dennis Kimani, Agronomist: I would urge farmers to start from the seedlings. Go for the right propagator and choose the right seedling. Host: @PeterWakaba Producer: paul thiongo #FarmKenya #ChekiKTN

Why do you need to do soil testing before planting? Dennis Kimani, Agronomist: If you do soil testing, it will guide you on what to use and what not to use. Host: @PeterWakaba Producer: paul thiongo #FarmKenya #ChekiKTN

Dennis Kimani, Agronomist, shares why you should source for an agronomist/expert before starting to farm capsicum🫑 Host: @PeterWakaba Producer: paul thiongo #FarmKenya #ChekiKTN

Okisegere Ojepat: About 85–90% of our production comes from smallholder farmers. Being in the tropics, we can't farm without using plant protection products. Okisegere Ojepat Fresh Produce Consortium of Kenya Producer: paul thiongo Producer: Millicent Alango #farmkenya #chekiktn

Okisegere Ojepat: It takes 10–15 years of research to develop a single molecule, with strict checks to ensure it's safe for human consumption. Okisegere Ojepat Fresh Produce Consortium of Kenya Host: @MrNoahKipkemboi Producer: paul thiongo #farmkenya #chekiktn

Okisegere Ojepat: Some say banned EU pesticides shouldn’t be used here—but why would Europe need protection from pests like armyworms or locusts that don’t exist there? Okisegere Ojepat Fresh Produce Consortium of Kenya Host: @MrNoahKipkemboi Producer: paul thiongo #farmkenya #chekiktn

Okisegere Ojepat: We’re a country that always says agriculture is our backbone. If that’s truly the case, we need to focus our energy and research—starting with KARLO. Okisegere Ojepat Fresh Produce Consortium of Kenya Host: @MrNoahKipkemboi Producer: paul thiongo #farmkenya #chekiktn

Okisegere Ojepat: Solving agriculture’s challenges requires more than just issuing directives—those no longer work. You need to dialogue with the people as the CS Okisegere Ojepat Fresh Produce Consortium of Kenya Host: @MrNoahKipkemboi Producer: paul thiongo #farmkenya #chekiktn

Onion growing goes on for about 3 months. It goes by the variety but basically it should be between 3-4 months from the time of the propagation of the nursery -Stephen Njiiraini. Host: @PeterWakaba Producer: paul thiongo #farmkenya #chekiktn

When it comes to onions, it goes by the production, the varieties differ by the production- Stephen Njiiraini. Host: @PeterWakaba Producer: paul thiongo #farmkenya #chekiktn

In any production, it starts with the identification of the planting material; what do you want to plant, where to source it-Stephen Njiiraini. Host: @PeterWakaba Producer: paul thiongo #farmkenya #chekiktn
