Amidst this challenge, organic farming has been lauded for its environmental […]
Combating Soil Erosion: Essential Strategies for ASAL Areas
Soil erosion is a significant challenge in arid and semi-arid lands (ASAL) like Kimana. This isn’t just about a dusty landscape. This natural process, exacerbated by human activities and climatic conditions, can lead to decreased agricultural productivity, loss of fertile topsoil, and environmental degradation
Regenerative Agriculture: The Future of Farming
Regenerative agriculture is an innovative farming approach aimed at enhancing and revitalising the ecosystem. It goes beyond merely reducing the impact of agriculture on the environment; it actively improves soil health, increases biodiversity, and supports the ecosystem. By focusing on soil health, regenerative agriculture can increase biodiversity, improve water cycles, and build resilient agricultural systems […]
Impact of Animal Agriculture on Climate Change
Animal agriculture is a significant driver of climate change, contributing notably to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, water and air pollution, and biodiversity loss. The sector is responsible for approximately 16.5% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, rivalling the emissions from all global transportation. This impact is mainly due to the methane produced by enteric fermentation […]
