Financing farming critical to achieving Kenya food security

According to the UN, an estimated two billion people did not have access to safe, nutritious and sufficient food in 2019. More than 650 million people or 8.9 percent of the human population sleeps hungry everyday with another 750 million exposed to severe levels of food insecurity.

With Kenya’s population expected to hit 80 million by 2040, the country’s food production is not expanding in tandem with this exponential increase in the number of mouths to feed.
