I know a missionary who is in Kenya to help with agriculture and the soil. He said that the soil isn 't very good over there and that’s why nothing is growing well. He wants to teach other good agricultural methods to families so they can provide for themselves. Even though the agriculture in Kenya is the largest contributor of Kenya’s GDP, only 8% of the land is used for crop and feed production, but only 20% of that is even suitable for agriculture (Abrams, Andy).

For this is one of the most beautiful lands in the continent- and, whether you are travelling or touring, a satisfyingly exiting and relatively easy place to travel. The kodachrome hype may not take account of the country`s less salubrious images-its share of post colonial poverty- nor of any more diverse or contradictory reality, but it is true enough on its way. Which is not to say that treating Kenya as a…
