Fredrick Onyango talks to Kakoli Mitra about the widespread food insecurity in Kenya and what he has been doing for the past 12 years to help his community. He describes the various factors contributing to hunger, including climate change, which negatively affects Kenyan farmers who engage in rainfed agriculture. Another factor is inequitable land allocation, which results in a small number of individuals having disproportionately large landholdings, preventing most people from having access to land to produce food. Onyango believes that if land were managed properly, given the ample rainfall in Kenya, farmers would be able to grow sufficient crops to feed the entire population. His local solution was to form a committee-based organization (CBO) in his village, through which Onyango has been training his fellow villagers in sustainable and regenerative agriculture. He teaches organic farming techniques, how to make fertilizers based on compost or animal manure, and permaculture farming, in which different types of crops and trees are intermixed for soil health and productivity. Many in his community have benefitted from Onyango’s training, which has boosted the food security of his village. Onyango also describes incorporating the local and Indigenous knowledge of Elders in the community into his trainings, which includes crop rotation and leaving land intermittently uncultivated to improve soil fertility. Finally, he talks about fishing in Lake Victoria being another source of income in his village, but how overfishing and industrial runoff are harming both the fish and an ancient source of food and livelihoods.
