Fodder establishment is a crucial element in livestock production. Understanding the crude protein values of fodder is important in preparing rations. The concept of quality foil does not end here. A farmer must harvest fodder at the right stage to meet the targeted nutritional feeds.

Happy Mashujaa Day.

Extension education in agriculture entails disseminating information and scientific knowledge from experts to farmers. However, experts must assess agricultural problems and farmers' needs to make the most appropriate recommendations. Extension experts use farm visits as a primary approach to evaluating training needs and production-related problems. Last week, WingFarm visited Murang'a youth farmers to evaluate and provide guidance on the most appropriate agricultural solutions and practices. #kilimonimboka

WingFarm had an opportunity to be part of a broad conversation on transforming food systems during the GS Summit held on Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology (JKUAT) grounds. The event was graced by stakeholders from various sectors of our economy to discuss key issues affecting our food systems and the challenges of achieving food security in Africa. WingFarm led a discussion on how the youth can be involved in policy-making processes and how farmers can balance traditional farming techniques with new innovative farming techniques. In realization of the great opportunities available for the youth in agriculture and entrepreneurship, all youths must remain innovative and mindful towards achieving food security.
