Partner-led session

Description

We are farmers and gardeners, chefs, suppliers, musicians, artists, researchers, and trainers; we are running businesses, CBOs and NGOs. We believe and experience the power of regenerative urban agriculture to transform our food systems in Kenya. We are exploring ways to connect like-minded urbanites and provide opportunities to take action: advocacy, knowledge sharing and education, producer-consumer communications etc. We believe feeling connected to others is key to creating more just and regenerative food systems and societies. We would like to share our ideas and experience with you and hear your feedback and recommendations. We are looking to build relationships and grow our network in every corner of Kenya and elsewhere.
