What comes to your mind when people talk about food security? To most people, food security is country’s productivity on cereals like: • Maize, • Beans, • Rice, • Sorghum, • Rice • And millet. Other ‘fringe’ food crops like potato, cassava, taro, tomatoes, sunflower, cabbages, kale, and various fruits and vegetables are rarely mentioned. That’s quite unfortunate as they are equally important to food security. Why? You may ask. The ‘fringe’ crops super important making a diet balanced. Without them, a diet containing maize, rice, sorghum, millet or beans will be deficient. It will lack the vital minerals the body needs to fight diseases and viruses. Consequently, a population consuming such a diet will be unhealthy. That’s why today I want to focus on the role of Kale on Kenya’s food security.
