Regenerative Agriculture in Family Farming for Resilience and Sustainable Living

Regenerative agriculture is a farming method that aims to improve soil health, biodiversity, and ecosystem resilience. It aims to repair degraded land, sequester carbon, and sustainably boost agricultural productivity. As climate change provides enormous difficulties to agriculture, involving youth in regenerative agriculture will be a feasible strategy to lessen its effects and improve sustainable food production. Women Business Hub is developing regenerative agriculture in western Kenya by collaborating with women, youth, and non-binary individuals.

Women Business Hub educates young people about the value of regenerative agriculture and its role in combatting climate change. The organization offers youth interested in regenerative agriculture specific training and capacity-building activities such as Soil conservation, agroforestry, water management, and integrated pest management approaches.
