Did you know that smallholder farmers make up over 80% of the world's farms? 🌱 In a world facing a global food crisis, smallholder farmers hold the key to sustainable and resilient food systems. Through sustainable agriculture, they can create more food security than industrial farms. By empowering these farmers with the right resources and education—just like what we do at Ambokili Farm—we can build resilient food systems that address the root causes of hunger and malnutrition. At Ambokili Farm, we're dedicated to empowering these often-overlooked stewards of the land. Learn how we're working to break the cycle of hunger and malnutrition and how smallholder farmers in Kimana are at the forefront. Our latest blog explores how these often-overlooked stewards of the land hold the key to feeding the world sustainably.

Start with your local farmer. Discover a local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) organic farm near you! Joining a CSA means getting fresh, seasonal produce delivered straight from the farm to your table. Here's how to find one: 1. Search Online: Use websites like LocalHarvest.org or Google "CSA farms near me" to find local options. 2. Visit Farmers Markets: Chat with vendors about CSA memberships and local farm offerings. 3. Community Boards: Check out local community centers, libraries, or online neighborhood groups for CSA listings. 4. Ask Around: Word of mouth is powerful! Ask friends, family, or coworkers if they know of any good local CSAs.

🐟 Fascinating new study in BMJ Global Health estimates that swapping out red meat for oily fish could prevent as many as 750,000 deaths from diet-related disease in 2050 and avert up to 15m years of life lived with a disability. Currently, three-quarters of global forage fish catch – comprising species such as sardines, anchovies and mackerel – is ground into fishmeal and fish oil, which are mostly used for fish farming, a sector dominated by multinational agribusiness and feed companies. Time to stop using these precious fish to feed farmed fish and feed people directly instead! #food #fish #nutrition #foodsystems #agribusiness https://lnkd.in/eT-j4DqE
