Global Discussions on Agrifood Resilience and Agricultural Research in Nakuru County
The latest in this situation
How it started
What happened
Discussions at the 81st United Nations General Assembly featured priorities set by the Food and Agriculture Organisation, including agrifood systems transformation and a session dedicated to Rethinking Food: From Plate to Planet. These global discussions also highlighted the links between livestock, food production, climate, and health during the Global Conference on One Health in Agrifood Systems. This global dialogue mirrors work underway at the Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organisation in Lanet, Nakuru County, where researchers are focused on animal breeding, nutrition, and pasture development.

Why it matters
The research being conducted in Nakuru County focuses on helping farmers produce heavier animals and better-quality beef while improving feed efficiency and reducing production costs. Specifically, researchers are exploring breeds like the Improved Boran, which is well adapted to the local environment of Kenya's arid and semi-arid areas.
