Kwanza, wacha nit teetee FARMING if Bwana Meria and Kenyalist forum Admins are listening.
@Meria
Farming, agriculture and the use of land defines us as Kenyans. This includes agro business and peasant rural farming. We are all aware of the role of tea, coffee and flower in foreign earnings. Not to mention the role of domestic production of sugar cane, maize, rice, milk etc on our food security so that we do not depend on cartels to import essential commodities.
What happened to the selection of different varieties of tomatoes in markets and shop ( kiosks or supermarket) shelves ?
All I see these days is the Romano variety or something close to it.
When growing up in towns across Kenya and visits to rural areas, i know we had a choice. I am sure we have a generation of Kenyans who do not know what I am talking about. Just google "tomatoes" and ogle the many types you have never seen in your food or your dinner table.
This is why I am lobbying for a Farming category to discuss these types issues of national concern.
Tanga tanga wing of Jubilee have a point in highlighting the agriculture sector. Even though their focus is Central region on this topic, it is a national conversation.
