Dear Friend, I recently told you about our Pineapple Appeal, and the stories of Fatuma and Elizabeth, two farmers who are on the front lines of the climate crisis in Kenya. I’d like to tell you a bit more about why pineapples are so important in places like Kwale county, Kenya, where I work with Ripple Effect farmers. Would you like to test your pineapple knowledge by taking our short quiz?
Pineapples grow in erratic weather conditions, so are ideal in Kwale county, Kenya, where farmers are experiencing these conditions because of climate change. As a result, poverty-busting pineapples can help provide families with a reliable income. |
