Kenya’s food system faces mounting pressure from nutritional, environmental, economic and social challenges.
Despite notable progress in agricultural development, undernutrition and food insecurity persist, while land degradation, climate variability and economic disparities continue to undermine the system’s resilience and long-term sustainability.
The International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) is collaborating with the Sustainable Nutrition Initiative in a ‘Building an interactive food system scenario model for Kenya’ project to co-design a computational food system model.
This model will simulate present and future food system scenarios at the sub-national and national levels, with the goal of informing evidence-based planning for a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable food future in Kenya.
