Schools in Murang'a County are continually embracing the growing of fruit-bearing trees, a major shift from the growing of the indigenous and exotic trees.
This shift is significantly solving two major problems, including environmental conservation to mitigate the effects of climate change and offering improved nutritional benefits for the school populations while contributing to a more vibrant ecosystem.
Various stakeholders, including elected leaders, are championing this fruit-bearing tree-growing initiative, which is further contributing largely to the government's goal to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 as part of a larger plan to increase tree forest cover to 30 percent.
The initiative aims at reducing greenhouse emissions, halting and reversing deforestation, and restoring degraded landscapes.
