Kenya is facing a potential food crisis as failed seasonal rains threaten harvests and exacerbate existing inflation concerns. Farmers like Esther Njeri are experiencing significant crop losses, signaling an impending rise in food prices.

• The October-December "short rains" have largely failed, leading to withered crops for smallholder farmers.
• Esther Njeri, a farmer in Karati, Naivasha, is directly impacted by the drought.
• The lack of rainfall is expected to negatively affect the food supply and income for many families in the coming year.
