Farmers speak out at FAO Summit
President of Eastern African Farmers Federation (EAFF)-Kenya, Philip M. Kiriro, says that the current food crisis is affecting their fellow farmers in the region, and this has been exacerbated by lack of commitment from governments. He says that they are trying to come up with solutions to capacitate small farmers in dealing with the situation. He added that it would be better to also get subsidies from governments in the region. Mr Philip Kiriro has also urged delegates at FAO High-Level Conference on World Food to come up with concrete and actionable recommendations to the current food crisis.
