We may come from different backgrounds, communities and experiences, but young people share a common goal: a secure and sustainable future.

This International Youth Day, Slow Food Kenya celebrates young people who are proving that agriculture is more than a livelihood. It is an opportunity to innovate, restore ecosystems, protect food biodiversity and build resilient communities.

As part of the celebrations at the Slow Food Kenya Academy, young women also participated in a session on agricultural entrepreneurship and family sustainability. The session explored how young women can build sustainable livelihoods while strengthening the wellbeing and resilience of their families.
Family sustainability goes beyond income. The discussion connected agricultural entrepreneurship with WASH (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene), food security and food sovereignty, highlighting the importance of access to safe water and sanitation, nutritious food, diverse diets and the ability of families and communities to make informed choices about the food they produce and consume.

By investing in young people—especially young women—we are investing in the future of our food systems, our communities and our planet.

We are excited to announce that Slow Food Kenya has officially joined the World Farmers Markets Coalition as a Member Association.

This milestone is more than a new membership, it reflects our shared commitment to strengthening resilient, sustainable, and inclusive food systems through vibrant farmers' markets that connect producers directly with consumers.

As part of this growing global network, we look forward to collaborating with organizations across the world, exchanging knowledge, sharing best practices, and advancing local food systems that protect biodiversity, improve livelihoods, and ensure access to good, clean, and fair food for all.

We are proud to join a coalition of changemakers working together to amplify the impact of farmers' markets and create more resilient communities through local food.

We thank the World Farmers Markets Coalition for the warm welcome and look forward to contributing to this global movement. Learn more about the Coalition: https://worldfarmersmarketscoalition.org/

Learning by Doing at the EARN Permaculture Design Course – Malawi

The EARN Permaculture Design Course continues with hands-on learning as participants deepen their understanding of permaculture design processes, natural patterns, their functions, and sustainable water management.

This phase of the training has focused on practical application, including constructing A-frames to identify contour lines and building swales to enhance water harvesting, improve infiltration, and reduce soil erosion.

These practical skills are equipping participants with approaches that can be adapted to strengthen resilient farming systems and promote sustainable land management in their own communities

On 22nd-23rd July 2026, the 3rd National Agroecology Symposium, organized by PELUM Kenya in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, was convened at the Kenya School of Monetary Studies, bringing together key stakeholders committed to transforming Kenya's food systems. Slow Food Kenya was proud to be part of the discussions, contributing to conversations on advancing agroecology, protecting food biodiversity, and strengthening sustainable livelihoods.

A key outcome of the symposium was the adoption of a 10-point Call to Action, urging coordinated implementation of Kenya's National Agroecology Strategy through stronger policies, increased investment, expanded markets for agroecological products, research and innovation, youth empowerment, and robust monitoring and learning systems.

Slow Food Kenya remains committed to working with partners to promote agroecology, conserve food biodiversity, and champion good, clean and fair food for all.

Have you ever tasted a meal that instantly reminded you of home?

For many of us, traditional foods carry more than flavour, they carry memories, culture, and a connection to the land and the people who grow our food.

Every local meal we choose helps keep our food traditions alive, supports smallholder farmers, and contributes to the conservation of Kenya's rich food biodiversity.

Can you identify the various foods from the photos?
