Government Response to COVID-19

How "Farm To Feed" is Cushioning Farmers, Households Against Effects of COVID-19 COVID 19 has caused shocks in the food supply chains and household incomes. Food insecurity has increased with rising unemployment. Due to restrictions and low purchasing power, many farmers find themselves stranded with produce while families, short of cash, cannot afford regular meals. In Kenya, a local organization "Farm to Feed" Provides 2000 meals to vulnerable households daily, 6 days a week by proving food sourced directly from farmers struggling to get buyers due to the pandemic. This initiative keeps the smallholder farmers in business by creating a market for their produce while delivering much needed humanitarian relief to most vulnerable communities. The organization delivers supplies to different low-income areas in Nairobi including Kibera, Mathare, Outer Ring Road, Parklands, Deep Sea Slum, Ngara, Dagoretti, Kiserian and Kikuyu.
