Guess what? Beekeeping is more than just honey – it’s hope! On our Kamba TV talkshow, we learnt how bees are creating jobs, boosting incomes, and sweetening lives in Arid & Semi-Arid Lands. Would you try beekeeping as a source of income? @Foodgrains @UnitedChurchCda @KenyaNCCK

Instead of waiting for new trees to grow, why not help existing ones thrive? Lead farmer Justus Mwovi is guiding fellow farmers on FMNR—nurturing natural tree sprouts to restore degraded land faster #MCILIV #Liverpool #RealMadrid #Newcastle @Foodgrains @UnitedChurchCda

Farming in dry areas? Crop rotation helps retain moisture & prevent soil erosion. ✔️ Deep-rooted crops (pigeon peas) break hard soil ✔️ Cover crops (cowpeas) reduce water loss ✔️ Legumes (beans) enrich soil fertility Farm smart, conserve water #Sudan #Bannon #RMAMCI #WorldBank

Charcoal burning is destroying forests, worsening climate change, and harming our health! Each tree lost means less rain, poor soil, and more air pollution. Let’s embrace sustainable alternatives like agroforestry to protect our future #EvertonLiverpool #michaeloliver #TheTruth

Marrieta Nduku Mbatha from Kithito Group is a testament to the power of Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA). She borrowed Ksh. 3,000 from her VSLA to pay her child's school fees after they were sent home #LiverpoolvsTottenham #Tottenham #CarabaoCupFinal @Foodgrains
