Facing climate change impacts on agriculture, Kenya has launched the National Bioeconomy Strategy 2026–2036, a 10-year plan to harness biological resources for economic growth and sustainability.

• The strategy aims to create new industries by transforming agricultural by-products into fertilizers, energy, and industrial goods, potentially worth KSh500 billion by 2036.
• Key figures involved include Coordinator of the National Bioeconomy Education and Policy Framework Prof Rewe Thomas and First Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.
• The initiative seeks to move agriculture beyond food production to support sectors like energy and manufacturing, while also restoring soil health and promoting renewable energy.
