Carrot farming has emerged as one of the highly valued and lucrative economic activities in Kenya as the country, under the Ministry of Agriculture, continues to advocate for agribusiness. As a result, most small-scale farmers are opting for carrot farming in Kenya due to the high yields from even a small piece of land. With a shorter maturity period compared to other crops like maize and coffee, carrots also require minimal attention and are easy to manage. Carrots in Kenya are mainly grown for the local market where they are consumed when fresh or processed while others are packed and exported to foreign markets. This carrot plating guide gives you all the details you need to know for successful and profitable carrot farming in Kenya.

126 Thousands of Moroccans and foreigners marched on Marrakesh on Sunday to demand "climate justice" from global envoys gathered for UN talks on staving off worst-case-scenario global warming. The protest took place on the sidelines of the 22nd Conference of Parties of the UN's climate convention, COP22 for short, which runs until 18 November. "It is an international march for all the people who suffer the results of climate change, yet had no role in causing it," said Mohamed Leghtas of a Moroccan climate coalition of environment, human rights and labour groups. "Climate change is a triple injustice: committed by the north against the south, by current generations against future ones, and by a minority which enriches itself from fossil fuel energy against the poor who are left to pick up the pieces," he told AFP. Native Peruvians, Berber groups and African associations formed part of the procession that snaked through the city, brandishing placards reading: "Make love, not CO2," and "1.5C to stay alive". The latter refers to the goals of the climate rescue Paris Agreement concluded at the previous round of UN talks in the French capital in 2015, and set the goal of limiting global warming to two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit), or 1.5C if possible. Carbon emissions 'flat' A report issued on Monday said carbon emissions from burning fossil fuels have been nearly flat for three years in a row - a "great help" but not enough to stave off dangerous global warming. Emissions of planet-warming carbon dioxide stayed level in 2015 at 36.3 billion tonnes and were projected to rise "only slightly," by 0.2 percent in 2016, according to the annual global carbon budget report compiled by teams of scientists from around the world. "This third year of almost no growth in emissions is unprecedented at a time of strong economic growth," said research leader Corinne Le Quere of the University of East Anglia. "This is a great help for tackling climate change but it is not enough." Antolin Huascar of Peru's agricultural confederation said: "We are here to demand respect and to urge the world to commit to cutting greenhouse gases" that are blamed for warming the planet. https://twitter.com/starfirst/status/797156567414112256 US President-elect Donald Trump, meanwhile, is seeking quick ways of withdrawing from the global agreement to limit climate change, a source on his transition team said, defying widening international backing for the plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions. Trump move to quit Paris deal Trump, who has called global warming a hoax and has promised to quit the Paris Agreement, was considering ways to bypass a theoretical four-year procedure for leaving the accord, according to the source, who works on Trump's transition team for international energy and climate policy. "It was reckless for the Paris agreement to enter into force before the election" on Tuesday, the source told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity. Diplomats must negotiate rules for putting the hard-fought Paris Agreement's goals into action. On Tuesday, they will be joined by dozens of African heads of state, French President Francois Hollande and UN chief Ban Ki-moon. "People must fight for their rights and not count on governments [that] are under pressure from multinational corporations," Khadija Riadi, a Moroccan human rights defender, told AFP at the march. "There can be no climate justice without respect for human rights."

Climate change is a direct threat to a child’s ability to survive, grow, and thrive. As extreme weather events such as cyclones and heatwaves increase in frequency and ferocity, they threaten children’s lives and destroy infrastructure critical to their well-being. Floods compromise water and sanitation facilities, leading to diseases such as cholera, to which children are particularly vulnerable. “Children are the least responsible for climate change, yet they will bear the greatest burden of its impact.” Egypt is highly vulnerable to climate change, with projected increase in heat waves, dust storms, storms along the Mediterranean coast and extreme weather events. Stronger warming has been documented over the past 30 years, with average annual temperatures increasing by 0.53 degree Celsius per decade. The country’s climate risks are and will impact the younger generations of today. Crucially, the awareness of the importance of climate change action both domestically and at the global level is fast increasing in Egypt. The country is at a turning point in its commitment and action to tackle the consequences of climate change. In the 2030 Vision and sustainable development strategy, Egypt has also made commitments to integrate climate change in national development policies and to progressively green its budget across sectors. UNICEF will be at COP27 to ensure that the climate crisis is recognized as a crisis for children and their rights, to promote approaches to decrease climate risk for those who are most vulnerable, and to support children and young people’s participation in COP27 as part of efforts to support children and young people’s participation in climate-related decision-making.
