We continue to delve into the more practical aspects of making food safety the norm as we seek to achieve food and nutrition security for all Kenyans in line with the Global SDG (Zero Hunger – SDG2), Vision 2030 and the Big 4 Agenda. Food safety is everyone’s business and through a collaborative multi-stakeholder standard driven approach is it possible to assure the safety and quality of food for all Kenyans. It is said you reap what you sow. During this meeting, we examine the practicalities of Fertilizers, seeds, and agrochemicals, on how to maximize their benefits towards attaining high yields in a safe and sustainable manner. We delve into the basics of what works and what doesn’t.
