Agriculture is a cornerstone of many economies, particularly in developing countries like Kenya, where it contributes significantly to GDP and employment. However, the sector faces numerous challenges, including climate change impacts, land degradation, water scarcity and fluctuating market prices. These issues necessitate a shift towards sustainable agricultural practices that enhance productivity while minimizing environmental impacts.
