Effective IPM Association (EIPMA)was honoured to participate in the 3rd National Agroecology Symposium 2026, a two-day national forum that brought together government representatives, farmers, researchers, youth, development partners, the private sector, and civil society to advance the agroecology agenda in Kenya.

Throughout the symposium, participants engaged in insightful discussions on strengthening sustainable food systems through agroecological practices, promoting the use of organic fertilisers and bio-inputs, investing in innovation and value addition, empowering youth as key drivers of agricultural transformation, and fostering stronger partnerships across sectors.

The symposium reinforced the importance of supporting smallholder farmers with practical knowledge, innovation, and collaborative action to build resilient, inclusive, and sustainable food systems in the face of climate change.

At Effective IPM Association, we remain committed to promoting agroecology and working with partners and farming communities to advance sustainable agriculture and improve livelihoods across Kenya.

We extend our appreciation to the organisers, partners, speakers, and all participants for creating a valuable platform for learning, collaboration, and action toward a more sustainable future.

A successful two-day farmer exchange and exposure visit, planned by PELUM Kenya and organised by Effective IPM Association (EIPMA), brought together farmers from different parts of Kiambu County for a practical learning experience in agroecology and sustainable agriculture.

On 14th July, participants visited G-BiACK, where they learned about agroecological farming practices, indigenous seed conservation, bio-input production, and community-led innovations that strengthen resilient food systems.

The learning journey then continued to Laikipia Permaculture Centre, where farmers gained hands-on knowledge on permaculture principles, regenerative agriculture, soil health management, water conservation, climate-smart farming, and sustainable food production.

The exposure visit provided a valuable opportunity for farmer-to-farmer learning, knowledge exchange, and the sharing of practical approaches that participants can apply within their own communities.

A heartfelt thank you to PELUM Kenya for planning this initiative and to G-BiACK and Laikipia Permaculture Centre for hosting and sharing their expertise, as well as to all the farmers whose enthusiasm made the exchange a success.
