Stakeholders at Science Summit Nairobi 2026 called for Kenya's coffee sector to adopt science, technology, and farmer-centred policies to reverse declining production and build climate resilience. Experts emphasized that scientific evidence should guide agricultural investments, soil testing should complement fertilizer use, and farmers must be placed at the centre of regeneration efforts.

A study presented at a science summit found that both drought and unusually good rains can fuel conflict among pastoralist communities. Good seasons increase livestock values and shift migration patterns, intensifying competition over grazing resources, while drought forces herders beyond traditional grazing areas into territories claimed by other communities.
The Grand Nairobi Race, scheduled for September 27, combines competitive cycling with environmental conservation at Oloolua Forest. Over three years, the initiative has grown more than 8,000 trees and supported community programmes including orchards and school feeding initiatives.
Governments across Eastern and Southern Africa are using satellite technology and shared geospatial data through a cloud-based platform to help meet a Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework target of protecting 30 per cent of land and water by 2030, as fragmented environmental information has threatened conservation efforts.
The Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD) is working with 24 countries in Eastern and Southern Africa to provide biodiversity maps, geospatial data, and technical support to help governments meet the global target of protecting 30% of terrestrial, inland water, coastal and marine areas by 2030 under the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.
Eastern and Southern African governments are working to meet the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework's goal of protecting at least 30% of terrestrial, inland water, coastal and marine areas by 2030. The Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD) is addressing the data-coordination challenge by consolidating biodiversity information across government agencies, research institutions and conservation organisations.
Agriculture stakeholders have called for urgent implementation of Kenya's National Agroecology Strategy for Food Systems Transformation to build resilient food systems, restore degraded soils, and help farmers adapt to climate change. The resolutions were adopted at the 3rd National Agroecology Symposium Kenya, held in Nairobi.
Agriculture stakeholders from government, civil society, research, and farming sectors have called for urgent implementation of Kenya's National Agroecology Strategy for Food Systems Transformation to build resilient food systems, restore degraded soils, and help farmers adapt to climate change.
Africa is losing billions of dollars in potential income by exporting raw tree-based commodities like cocoa, coffee, timber, and cashew while importing finished products, a practice experts say prevents the continent from fully benefiting from its natural resources and slows local industry growth. The issue was discussed by policymakers, scientists, investors and development leaders in Nairobi, where they focused on transforming forests and agroforestry resources into higher-value products, industries and jobs.
At a forum in Nairobi, African policymakers and experts called for transforming forests, trees, and agroforestry into high-value industries through value addition and manufacturing, rather than exporting raw commodities, to create jobs and strengthen climate resilience across the continent.
