Kenya is embarking on a plan to irrigate an additional 1.5 million acres of farmland, aiming to lessen its dependence on rainfall and bolster national food security. Principal Secretary for Irrigation Ephantus Kimotho highlighted irrigation, water harvesting techniques, and accessible farming technologies as crucial components of this initiative. The move seeks to provide Kenyan farmers with more reliable access to water resources, ensuring more predictable crop yields. This expansion is also designed to strengthen the country’s ability to withstand increasing climate variability and its impact on agricultural production. By investing in irrigation infrastructure, Kenya intends to stabilize food production and reduce vulnerability to drought conditions. The project represents a significant step toward a more sustainable and resilient agricultural sector in Kenya.
