Residents of Vihiga County have been urged to diversify agriculture in a bid to realize food security.
In an interview with KNA today in his office, Vihiga County Director of Agriculture, Ben Chumba, called on residents to diversify agriculture by planting different crops, which will ensure food security.
Chumba called on residents to practice both crop and livestock farming, saying they can get manure from the animals and poultry which will improve their soil fertility, thus getting quality and higher yields.
Chumba also encouraged farmers to utilize short rains by planting nutritious indigenous vegetables for domestic use and selling the surplus produce to boost their income.
