Kenya is famous for its roses, but like most places, it's not immune to the effects of climate change.
Rising temperatures, extreme droughts and flash floods are affecting crop yields.
In fact, just a couple of years ago, some Kenyan farms reported losses as high as 50% due to the impact of heavy downpours.
Many farmers are now relying on technology and AI to help care for their crop.

Why are people salty on this comment section? You are used to documentaries of how African countries are suffering in poverty that you don't believe news on an African country that is prospering? Kenya is richer than most East European countries for your information, if it was a member of the EU it would not be the poorest.
