On this beautiful Sunday, the scripture reminds us to be mindful about the environment, lets take care of the environment and leave it better than we found it. We all have a higher calling to protect our environs.

Psalm 96:11-12 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy

Blessed Sunday.

With urban development and the introduction of technology, agriculture and farming seem to have been left out for the "old people" leaving a big generational gap for some of the basic skills in agriculture and the medicinal nature of plants.

Agriculture can substitute for coco melon and Netflix for children from the early stages of life, providing them with the necessary skills in life and developing their creative side of the brain.

As Patience Khasoa has put it in the Page IX magazine,"Introducing agriculture in early education not only enhances cognitive development but also nurtures a generation of innovators and great professionals who are equipped to address environmental challenges of the future."

Let us develop the agricultural sector and encourage its growth from early childhood. Read more about this and other educative write-ups here:

“Gender equality is fundamental to achieving human rights, and core to the UNICEF mandate for children.” This has been a rallying call from various international organizations and communities. This may have led to the establishment of many organizations fighting for the rights of women.

The theme of gender equality may have been misconstrued to mean advocating for women's rights while neglecting the boy child or the male gender with various African traditions and societal values being eroded.

“The international community has increasingly emphasized the economic potential of African women positioning them as the linchpin of ‘development’ and gender equality while neglecting to acknowledge men’s potential.” Loice Wanjiku through her article here, https://page-ix.com/e-magazine/, is discussing with us about “the Future of Gender Equality” and the impacts of a one-sided conversation in the society.

Ngolo Bill under the topic "Africa's Financial Ferris Wheel," has given us a few insights on how the dollar is affecting the African economy by influencing the prices of commodities, how African countries have to hold certain dollar reserves to facilitate cross-border transactions and serve the external debts and the possible ways in which African countries may protect themselves from risks relating to dollarization.

Small-scale farmers, large-scale farmers, and exporters of fresh produce from the African continent face major issues in international trade. This is because of the stringent measures enforced by the regulatory bodies and the European Union regarding food production and consumption. One of the challenges is the use of specified chemicals and excessive use of chemicals to control pests which led to the establishment of allowable levels.
MRLs (Maximum Residue Limits) signify the maximum allowable concentration of pesticide residue in or on food and animal feed products. These standards are established by regulatory bodies like the European Food Safety Authority and the United States Environmental Protection Agency for consumer protection.

David Murithi has discussed the impact of these measures on global trade while focusing on the Kenyan market for chilies and vegetables.
