Vihiga County has adopted a new Agroecology Policy, marking a major step towards sustainable food systems through local leadership, farmer participation and science-backed practices, with support from the Alliance of Bioversity International and partners.
Vihiga County has officially launched its Agroecology Policy, achieving a key milestone towards promoting sustainable food systems. As farmers in the county face growing pressure from climate change, declining soil fertility and food insecurity, the new policy provides a structured path to promote sustainable, locally driven solutions.
The development of this policy was a collaborative effort between the County Government and partners led by the Alliance and Participatory Ecological Land Use Management Kenya (PELUM), funded by the Biovision Foundation. Other partners included Seed Savers Network, Intersectoral Forum on Agroecology and Agrobiodiversity (ISFAA), Biogardening Innovations, Rural Outreach Africa, and others.
