Mazingira 24 - Farmers kit for green houses - Part 2 of 2

The Green Revolution is a series of technical innovations in food production that can lead to a rapid increase in cereal yields and production. The revolution was very successful in Asia where the growth in food production surpassed rapid population growth, thus avoiding predicted massive food shortages .

In Africa, however, the Green Revolution has not had such sustained success. As the world's urban population continues to grow at a rapid rate, communities around the world are increasingly turning to "city agriculture" to produce cheap, locally grown fruit and vegetables. Among skyscrapers and housing estates, previously vacant lots are being used to produce food that experts say are "greener", cheaper and can empower one financially.

Can Kenya become the next bread basket? This is the big question lingering in the minds of a few given the rich agricultural resource we are endowed with as a country?

Green House technology and specifically, the Farmers kit can be carried out in any part of the country at the same cost...it's success rate given at 91 percent may be just the answer to Kenya's food security
