As Kenya advances its agricultural sector, a critical conversation is emerging around the continued use of highly hazardous pesticides.

Recent findings from the “Poison for Profit” report highlight a concerning reality: substances banned in other regions are still in circulation within our markets. This raises serious questions about food safety, farmer health, and environmental sustainability.

At RODI Kenya, we see this as a call to action.

The long-term impacts of these chemicals include declining soil health, biodiversity loss, contamination of water systems, and increased health risks for farming communities. Addressing this challenge requires a multi-stakeholder approach.

We advocate for:
• Stronger regulatory frameworks and enforcement
• Increased investment in agroecological practices
• Capacity building for farmers on safe, sustainable alternatives
• Greater accountability across agricultural value chains

Agroecology offers a viable path forward—one that prioritizes resilience, sustainability, and the well-being of both people and ecosystems.

The future of agriculture in Kenya must be safe, inclusive, and sustainable.

RODI Kenya joined partners BIBA Kenya, Effective IPM Association, and KOAN in an Agroecology for Climate Resilience stakeholders’ engagement meeting in Nandi County, together with the County Government of Nandi.

The meeting created an important platform for farmers to learn more about agroecology and share their ideas towards the development of the Nandi County Agroecology Policy.

Farmers emphasized the importance of sustainable farming practices that restore soil health, protect the environment, and strengthen resilience to climate change.

At RODI Kenya, we continue to champion agroecology as a pathway to resilient farming communities and sustainable food systems.

This Tuesday, RODI Kenya was proud to be part of a major step forward for sustainable agriculture in West Pokot County.

The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between Biodiversity and Biosafety Association of Kenya (BIBA Kenya) and the Government of West Pokot County strengthens collaboration toward promoting agroecology, improving farmer livelihoods, and protecting biodiversity.

As an implementing partner in the A4CR Project, RODI Kenya remains committed to empowering farmers through resource-oriented development building on local strengths, indigenous knowledge, and environmentally sustainable practices. This partnership creates a stronger foundation for farmer capacity building, knowledge sharing, and practical agroecological solutions at the community level.

We also participated in the A4CR Project Stakeholders Forum at Sophie’s Hotel, Makutano, alongside partners including Kenya Organic Agriculture Network (KOAN), Export Promotion Council of Kenya (EIPMA), and the County Department of Agriculture. Together, we discussed implementation strategies and identified key areas of synergy to ensure real impact on the ground.

At RODI Kenya, we believe resilient food systems begin with empowered farmers. Through collaboration and agroecology, we are working toward sustainable agriculture, food security, and stronger rural communities.
