The government wants to
make agriculture “cool” in a bid to encourage Kenyan youths to engage through
modern technology.
Agriculture cabinet
secretary Willy Bett said on Monday during an Agricultural summit at State
House that this was meant to make agriculture more attractive to the younger
people who see it as a reserve for the old and those in rural areas.
He said that the government
is especially concentrating on mechanization and automation explaining that
reports indicate most Kenyans are still using outdated technology.
“There will be a plan on
how technology transfer will be done so that we make it cool for young people,”
Mr Bett said.
Further, Mr Bett assured
Kenyans that the country is food secure.
