Sustainable Agriculture

SAP Kenya is bringing the collective voice of farmers, scientists and businesses working in agriculture to the forefront of the dialogue at the National and subnational level.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) asserts that in order for agriculture to be truly sustainable, it must be profitable, environmentally sound, and promote social and economic fairness. Therefore, without leaving anyone behind, agricultural practices must change to become more sustainable.
Sustainable farming practices can be combined to address the unique climate issues faced by a particular agricultural community to create climate-smart agriculture and enhance rural livelihoods through technical innovations in agriculture that are scalable, locally appropriate, and inventive. SAP Kenya wants to contribute in this space by providing leadership and campaigns on sustainable agriculture and food systems, working with the members to:

  • Stimulate local production by providing farmers with the inputs, the knowledge and the financial services they need.

  • To better understand the lock-ins and levers in agricultural and food systems

  • To better understand the behavioral factors of small scale farmers

  • More and better evidence on the potential effectiveness of the current interventions

  • A more structured approach to link knowledge to action

Women and youth farmers should become specially targeted recipients because of their vital roles in the agriculture.
