PHOTO/@WilliamsRuto/XPresident William Ruto has sounded the alarm, identifying climate change as the “biggest threat” to the Kenya’s food security. Ruto emphasised the devastating effects of recent climate events, such as the destructive El Nino rains, which not only ravaged crops but also exacerbated post-harvest losses. He underscored the uncertainty faced by farmers in determining optimal planting and harvesting times, attributing these challenges to climate change. Meanwhile, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) reported a decline in global food prices in February, primarily driven by lower grain and cereal prices.
