Slow Food Kenya participated in a Technical Working Group planning meeting to prepare for the launch of the Nakuru County Agricultural Extension Policy, scheduled for 6 November 2026. The meeting brought together stakeholders to strengthen coordination and collaboration in agricultural extension service delivery.

The policy aims to improve farmers’ access to timely, practical agricultural information, promote the adoption of climate-smart and sustainable farming practices, and strengthen linkages between agricultural research and farm-level implementation. It is expected to contribute to improved farm productivity, market access, food security and household incomes.

Slow Food Kenya’s participation reflects its commitment to promoting agroecology, strengthening farmer knowledge, and supporting collaborative approaches to sustainable food systems in Nakuru County.

Slow Food Kenya was pleased to participate in a National PGS Committee meeting organized by the Kenya Organic Agriculture Network (KOAN) at Maxland Hotel, Juja, Kiambu County.
Samson Kiiru Ngugi, representing the Rift Valley region on the National PGS Committee, joined fellow committee members for a productive session focused on capacity building, knowledge exchange, and strengthening PGS in Kenya.
Key areas of discussion included the East African Organic Products Standard, the introduction of the Kilimo Hai Blue Label for PGS Agroecology, Kilimo Hai Agroecology Assessment Tools (KAAT), and preparations for the upcoming National PGS Workshop 2026, scheduled for 22–24 October 2026.
The meeting provided a valuable platform to explore how the Kilimo Hai Blue Label can be aligned and strengthened to enhance the credibility of Participatory Guarantee Systems (PGS), build consumer trust, improve market access for agroecological and organic farmers, and promote sustainable food systems across Kenya.

CELEBRATING SEED DIVERSITY AND FOOD SOVEREIGNTY AT THE MAKONGO SEED FAIR

Slow Food Kenya, alongside like-minded organisations including Heinrich Böll Stiftung (HBS), Hivos East Africa, Seed Savers Network, Kenyark and BIBA Kenya, participated in the Makongo Seed Fair organised by Eden Indigenous Seed Farms.

The event brought together local farmers to showcase and exchange indigenous seeds, celebrate agricultural biodiversity, and strengthen community seedbanks. The diversity of seeds on display highlighted the importance of conserving indigenous varieties for resilient and sustainable food systems.

Through interactive sessions, farmers shared experiences and practical knowledge on seed saving, emphasising the role of farmer-led seed conservation in safeguarding biodiversity, strengthening food security, and advancing food sovereignty.

The 4th World Farmers’ Market Coalition (WorldFMC) General Assembly is underway in Nairobi, bringing together the global farmers’ market movement to strengthen local food systems.

The Assembly opened with a video from Carlo Petrini, founder of the Slow Food movement, whose work has championed local food cultures, biodiversity and food systems that are good, clean and fair.

Representing Slow Food Kenya, John Kariuki Mwangi shared Kenya’s experience on how farmers’ markets can reconnect farmers and consumers, strengthen local food economies, and promote food cultures and biodiversity.

Farmers’ markets are more than places to sell food. They can be spaces where indigenous foods and seeds, traditional knowledge, local cultures and biodiversity are celebrated, shared and preserved for future generations.

Stronger markets. Stronger communities. Stronger local food systems.

Slow Food Kenya participated in the InterGI Training held in Corsica, France, from 27 September to 2 October 2026. The training was organised by Cirad - La recherche agronomique pour le développement, in partnership with REDD, and brought together participants from different countries to exchange knowledge and experiences on Geographical Indications (GIs) and their role in protecting and adding value to products rooted in local territories.

A key part of the training was engaging directly with Corsican honey producers and learning from their experience with GI certification, collective management, quality control, producer organisations, business models, and the protection of GI products.

These lessons are particularly relevant to ongoing discussions around the potential of Mau Forest honey as a Geographical Indication and how GI approaches could contribute to protecting indigenous knowledge, biodiversity and cultural heritage, while creating opportunities for sustainable livelihoods.

The training provided an important opportunity to learn from the Corsican experience and reflect on how similar approaches could be adapted to the Kenyan context.

The programme concluded with the awarding of certificates, marking the completion of a valuable learning experience. I am grateful for the opportunity to have participated in the InterGI Training and to have gained practical knowledge and skills on Geographical Indications that can contribute to ongoing work in Kenya.
