Hydroponics farming amid COVID-19 lockdown| Peris’ Video Diary from Nairobi | 29.07.20

Amidst the rapid COVID-19 related developments, questions arise as to how some segments of Nairobian society experience the effects of the pandemic and navigate and cope with the resulting uncertain job, income and food production and supply spaces. To gain insights into these questions, TMG Research (https://www.tmg-thinktank.com/) is giving food system actors, from producers to consumers, a platform to report through video dairies, on their very own experience and navigation of securing their food and livelihoods. We are grateful to the Mazingira Institute (https://mazinst.org/) and the African Population and Health Research Center (https://aphrc.org/), for suggesting some of the participants. If you want to learn more about the project, the collaborators and the applied collaborative visual research method please visit this article (https://bit.ly/2DCtUZ7).

In this video diary, Peris Lusano is a young agronomist at Miramar International College. She is currently supporting the beneficiaries of the hydroponics farming training at the Rungiri Hydroponics Farm where they are growing lettuce, tomatoes, capsicum, and Swiss chard. She is recapping some of the challenges they were facing in regard to production during the lockdown of the Nairobi Metropolitan Area. She says that during the lockdown one of the challenges was to access inputs like fertilizers and chemicals. Also, some of the beneficiaries of the training programme were not able to access the farm since they are living outside of the Metropolitan Area or they were afraid of getting infected with the virus and thus lost a whole planting season.
