Focus on BT cotton farming impact on Lamu's marine life

The introduction of BT cotton farming in Lamu is doing more than transforming agriculture — it's also breathing new life into the region’s fragile marine environment. For years, pesticide runoff from conventional cotton farming has polluted coastal waters, threatening marine life and depleting fish stocks that local communities rely on. But now, with the adoption of BT cotton, farmers are witnessing a revival of ecosystems and cleaner waters, benefiting both their livelihoods and nature.
