The challenge, titled “Building a Resilient Food System for Kenya,” aims to identify and develop innovative solutions that can improve food security, nutrition, and economic opportunities for farmers and consumers alike. The challenge is open to all individuals and organizations, regardless of their location or background. It is designed to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing among participants, with a focus on leveraging technology to address the challenges facing Kenya’s agricultural sector.

* **Food Insecurity:** Kenya’s agricultural sector faces challenges such as low productivity, post-harvest losses, and limited access to markets. This leads to a situation where food production is insufficient to meet the population’s needs. * **Climate Change:** Rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall patterns, and increased droughts are jeopardizing agricultural yields. These changes are already impacting crop production and livestock rearing, and pose a significant threat to food security in the long term. * **Urbanization:** As cities expand, land availability for agriculture shrinks.
