Abstract:
Circular
agricultural development is a new development trend of global agriculture,
including Kenya, a country with the fastest growing economy in sub-Saharan
Africa (Kenya Ministry of Industry and Trade, 2021). Being an agricultural
country, Kenya's agricultural sector not only provides the main food
for people across the country, but also makes an important contribution to the
gross domestic product (GDP). However, in the face of the negative effects of
climate change and the unsuitability of traditional agriculture in a linear
direction, Kenyan agriculture is making positive changes in the direction of a
circular and step by step to improve production efficiency, improve the quality
of agricultural products and minimize negative impacts on the environment. Recently, the
Government of Kenya has implemented many measures to both support and promote
farmers and businesses operating in the agricultural sector of Kenya to develop
agriculture to the direction of circularity, towards sustainable
agricultural development. The following article will analyze in more detail the
measures that the Government of Kenya has taken.
