By Balancing Sustainable Agriculture & Economic Stability in Kenya
Balancing Sustainable Agriculture and Economic Stability in Kenya, Focusing on Food Security Over Cash Crops.
Kenya should not just be transformed into a coffee farm.
Who consumes coffee? We shouldn’t be focusing solely on cultivating coffee to sell; instead, we should prioritize growing food that we can eat.
Our strategy should ensure that we are well-fed first, and any excess can be exported.
Building a community based solely on exports is misguided. If we grow all this coffee and sell it at a low price because it’s unprocessed, we end up bringing money back only to spend it on food from the same people. It doesn’t make sense.
Why would we ruin our land to grow something inedible just to buy back food with the money we earned? We must rethink our approach entirely.
Our land shouldn’t just be a source of raw materials while we still need to purchase food.
The balance between imports and exports is crucial; that’s where GDP and currency value come into play.
What we export should match what we import, especially when it comes to essential food items. In the end, if people have no money, the currency loses its value because they are hungry.
