Lugari Sub-County, a traditional Kenyan maize-growing region, faces a crisis as climate change disrupts agricultural practices. Decades of reliable maize production are now threatened by altered weather patterns, including extended droughts and irregular rainfall. This shift jeopardizes the livelihoods of thousands of households dependent on the crop for both sustenance and income. Farmers in areas like Lumakanda, Mautuma, and Chekalini are being compelled to reassess their farming strategies. The unpredictable conditions pose a significant risk to food security within the region and potentially beyond. The situation highlights the urgent need for adaptive measures and sustainable agricultural solutions to mitigate the effects of climate change on Kenyan agriculture.
