Uasin Gishu County, renowned as the “breadbasket of Kenya,” is witnessing a transformative shift in maize farming practices. Farmers in the region are increasingly embracing sustainable agricultural methods to boost maize production while preserving the environment for future generations. Through initiatives such as conservation agriculture, crop rotation, and the use of certified seeds and fertilizers, farmers are witnessing significant increases in yield per acre. Agricultural extension services and cooperatives play a pivotal role in providing training, access to resources, and technical support to farmers, facilitating the adoption of sustainable practices.
As Uasin Gishu County continues to lead in maize production, the adoption of sustainable farming practices is crucial for ensuring long-term food security and environmental sustainability. By prioritizing soil health, water management, and pest control, farmers are not only increasing productivity but also mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change on agriculture. As a result, Uasin Gishu County serves as a model for sustainable maize farming in Kenya, demonstrating the potential of innovative approaches to address the challenges facing the agricultural sector.
