Move over Covid, beware food crisis

We need a call to arms in Kenya, urgently, that gets farmers, families and every home planting extra food: because we now face a 2022 that is going to move the global pandemic straight off its disruption top spot, by running somewhere between the worst food crisis the world has ever seen, and, of course, the threat of global nuclear obliteration.

For many, the war between Ukraine and Russia has appeared as a far-away and not so serious matter, even as some of us have become very frightened about its escalation and impact. But it is now generating a huge set of food issues.
