Don’t copy-paste EU agriculture policies

Now Kenya has been horrendously hoodwinked.
Its Parliament has been asked to ban most of the country’s pesticides, though a decision to ban anything banned anywhere else.
The one ‘anywhere else’ is Europe with its bans without health or environmental evidence.
Last week, my graphic designer sent me a link showing a young Zambian woman speaking at an international conference designed to draw African youth into agriculture. It was eye-widening.
Her first point was that the worthy who run our overarching agricultural organisations appear completely dislocated from youth perspectives.
