Young people are key to addressing the global challenge of climate change. Their energy, innovation, and ambition hold immense potential to drive climate action and accelerate the achievement of global sustainability targets.

In an article published by KBC Digital, Africa Harvest’s Forest Expert and Project Manager, Eliud Mutahi, highlights the urgent need to invest in young people as a pathway to safeguarding our planet.

"Structured training on youth involvement in the domestication and commercialization of high-value trees would not only achieve economic stability but would also accelerate the attainment of the Paris Agreement toward Net Zero by 2050," reads part of the article.

Happy World Environment Day!

Today, Africa Harvest joins the world in commemorating World Environment Day and reaffirming our commitment to protecting the environment for present and future generations.

Environmental protection is one of our core values.

As we celebrate Madaraka Day and reflect on Kenya's attainment of self-rule in 1963, we are reminded of the power of investing in people. Through capacity building, technology transfer, and skills development for youth and women, we can increase agricultural production and productivity, boost smallholder farmers' incomes, and strengthen sustainable food systems.

In line with this year's theme, Education, Skills and the Future, we must continue investing in young people, who are the future of agriculture and key drivers of innovation, productivity, and economic growth. Every step we take to equip them with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities they need contributes to building the food-secure and resilient Kenya and the Africa we aspire to see.

On this International Seeds Day, an opinion piece by Kennedy Oyugi, Africa Harvest’s Agricultural Economist, published in the Standard Newspaper, explores how we can bridge seed access amid ongoing global disruptions.

Africa Harvest is at the forefront of these efforts, creating employment and income opportunities for youth and women through community-level seed production.

In 2025 alone, under the DTCs 4 Youth Jobs Creation project, young people, especially young women, produced and sold 95 metric tons of assorted seed, generating approximately KSh 19 million.

Africa Harvest participated in the EAGC Agribusiness Expo held at Chuka University in Tharaka Nithi County. The event brought together over 1,500 farmers and stakeholders under the theme “Climate-Smart Technologies and Practices for Sustainable Food Systems.”

The expo spotlighted climate-smart solutions that reduce post-harvest losses while improving grain quality, storage, and farmer incomes. Technologies such as hermetic storage systems, tarpaulins, mobile silos, threshers, and shellers demonstrated how innovation can enhance productivity, strengthen market access, and build resilient food systems.

The event was officiated by Prof. Henry Mutembei, Vice Chancellor of Chuka University Official, who underscored the University’s role in advancing food loss reduction solutions. He emphasized that Chuka University remains committed to driving agricultural transformation through research, training, and industry partnerships that equip future professionals with market-relevant skills.

The expo aligned with the AGRA RE-GAIN project, implemented by Eastern Africa Grain Council in consortium with Africa Harvest Biotech Foundation International in Embu and Tharaka Nithi Counties, focusing on scaling practical solutions that improve post-harvest management and farmer returns.

Bringing together farmers, researchers, agribusinesses, and development partners, the expo reinforced the critical role of collaboration in scaling impactful, farmer-centered solutions
