Dear fellow Kenyans, the government has declared war on us in the agriculture industry and it's time we are also going to war.

Since the Genz lead revolution that led to the abortion of the finance bill, the government has turned it's attention to alternative sectors and farming hasn't been spared.

Since the drop of the finance bill, the government has been introducing bill after bill targeting the farmers. Here is a list of agriculture Bills
1. Livestock Bill 2024
2. Mung Bean bill 2022
3. Agriculture Professional Registration And licencing bill 2024
4. Nuts and oil crops development bill 2023
5. Horticultural crop authority bill
6. Land amendment bill among others

We also believe that more are still on the way. As key players in this industry, we are standing up to speak up and challenge these punitive laws that will challenge our food security and sovereignty.

Together with other concerned citizens, we are standing up to challenge the government and demand accountability and I want to ask all my friends, fellow farmers and concerned citizens to join us in this fight. Food is one industry that affects all of us irrespective of your industry because you must eat every single day.

I will now step restructure our brands namely Mushrooms Kenya www.mushroomskenya.co.ke and Demi Farms www.demifarms.co.ke and move forward to get out there and let our voices be heard.

In a mix of strategies such as educating our farmers and the general public, seeking justice through courts and more.

In this regard, we are building a community of farmers called Farmers together www.farmerstogather.com to push forward in one voice.

SAY NO TO FOOD MONOPOLIZATION

Tought times ahead for the farming industry worldwide

Sometime back I talked of farmers being the only FREE group in the society and now the government's have realized that.

"A nation that cannot feed itself is not secure."
This quote highlights the importance of food security as a fundamental component of national security.

Now the Kenyan gafment is introducing a bill. A bill that sees the light of day, then most of the farmers I know from being a farmer myself and running two farm ventures namely Demi Farms www.demifarms.co.ke and mushroom Kenya www.mushroomkenya.co.ke under KenyaSpore Ventures on Facebook, including my mum back in Nyabondo might no longer be farmers.

If the bill sees the light of day, for you to grow your favorite vegetables like sukuma to eat and sell some in your nearest market or to your neighbours, you'll have to do the following;

1. Pay NEMA Ksh 10,000 per licence. Selling or buying from a farmers who has no licences JAIL!

2. Farmers must do soil analysis at Ksh 2,500.

3. Farmers must test the water to use at Ksh 4,700

4. A farmer must pay for nursery bed for I don't know how much

5. A farmer must undergo first aid training for 2yrs and have the kit at farm of ksh 15,000.

6. A farmer must have an app to track what You do and put all details of production and marketing.

7. A farmer must acquire certificate for the pesticides from pest control board 60k

8. If you want to put farmyard manure, the farmer must provided detailed of chemical analysis the farmer must pay again.

The laws are still many, the document is full of pages. A farmer will be approximately required to pay appreciate ksh 250,000 to have a farm. Which is clearly evident thay it would not be possible for any individual farmers to cover the cost of the certification.

Now back to my thoughts, in as much as the government is stating that they are doing this for food security but if it's not empowering the farmer it's not going to achieve food security.

If it's killing farms, with estimated over 3 million farmers out of the industry it's not going to achieve food security rather to help few get power to control the masses and for large corporations to monopolize the sector.

You can now clearly see that the bibles verse saying that there will get to a time when you will not be able to sell or buy without the mark. This is the grand strategy.

The world order’s interest in controlling food and water stems from the fact that these resources are foundational to life, security, and power.

Food and water are essential for human survival. Whoever controls these resources holds power over populations, as people and nations rely on them to live.

Political and Economic Power: Controlling food and water supply grants significant leverage in global politics. Governments, corporations, or organizations can use control over these resources to influence or pressure nations, shape economic policies, and even dictate terms in geopolitical negotiations.

Large corporations and global organizations see food and water control as lucrative industries. By monopolizing these sectors (e.g., through agribusiness or water privatization), they can generate significant profits while maintaining power over the global supply chains.

We must therefore reject this and empower the millions of farmers across the country and the continent who depend on agriculture. We must say no to food monopolization.

Simple Irrigation DIY

Dear farmers, we always encourage our farmers to use locally available materials to grow their farms.

The best thing that can happen to you as a farmer is JUST START. There will not be a better time to do anything. And once you start, ideas will just start coming.

Don't wait till you get a perfect land, don't wait till you get all the capital, don't wait till you have all the market, start small and grow.

Demi Farms www.demifarms.co.ke is such a testimony that small beginings are possible. Maybe one day we will start sharing our stories to inspire you.

And we are sure, many farmers too have great stories to share. What's your story, encourage another farmer.
