A farmer in Makueni county has embraced traditional farming and modern science to boost food production and protect extinction of plant and animal species. Benedetta Kyengo has shifted to Agro-ecological farming at a time the UN office for disaster risk reduction has painted a grim picture of nearly 30% biodiversity loss owing to poor land use.
