Meet Dr Florence Wambugu, a plant pathologist reshaping food production
“Let us first invest in high-yielding varieties and bring in investors to put money into irrigation systems and soil fertility, that is make fertilizer cheaper by producing it locally. Then educate farmers on how to store surplus harvest to avoid losses. Then increase mechanization in ploughing and processing the harvest. For instance, instead of farmers doing manual shelling of groundnuts, they use a machine.”
