Food Safety remains a global challenge and Kenya is not spared. There is a lot of media alerts on pesticide residue in fruits and vegetables in Kenya.
Research findings point to fruits and vegetables as the main source of pathogens for foodborne diseases globally. The ability to know the source of your vegetables is complex, over 80% of vegetables produced in Kenya is grown by smallholder farmers across the country. Demand for vegetables consumption in urban areas is expected to rise due to increase in urban population.
