Garissa farmers adopt beekeeping for sustainable climate adaptation.

Farmers in Garissa County are increasingly turning to beekeeping as a sustainable livelihood in response to the severe impacts of climate change. This shift aims to enhance resilience against the frequent droughts and floods that have disrupted traditional agriculture. After suffering significant livestock losses due to prolonged droughts, many farmers began cultivating crops along the River Tana, only to face crop destruction from recent floods, including those from the El Niño rains in late 2023 and the rainy season in early 2024.
