Kenya’s agricultural methods have played a major role in how the country was able to gain sustenance on its own rurally. One may say that Kenya had found ways to be able to stay afloat even when some crops were no longer exported; they were innovative enough to find other products that could still actively maintain their agriculture intact. According to the author, they stated “The crops that could be grown are corn and wheat. Also, cattle and goats are raised, and their dairy products are made for domestic purposes. Kenya’s reason to regulate a supply for such in case of emergencies like cheese and butter; if there is a surplus Kenya’s government exports the product” (Britannica, n.d). Kenya was able to sustain itself agriculturally by adopting methods to keep the progress moving up steadily. According to the article, Kenya maintains the running rank for best farming output, like producing wheat, rice, milk, beef, and seafood products; adopting this strategy ensures the longevity of farmers available to continue farming in Kenya (Global Monitor, n.d). Agriculture continues to be Kenya’s strong suit by continuing its security for its agriculture practices for the future and how the weather patterns dictate what sort of crop would be ideal to plant during that season.
Kenya’s diverse weather patterns all year depend on its equatorial location on the Earth and what month its climate resides in. The climate in Kenya depends on the geography and how warm/ humid the Indian Ocean is. At times, the Indian Ocean may be cooler, meaning Kenya Is cooler or Warmer during that season. According to the article, “Even though Kenya has good all-year-round sunshine with summer attire being worn, usually evenings and early mornings are cool. In Nairobi, Kenya, July is predicted to be the chilliest month with its average temperatures scaling between 48- and 71 degrees Fahrenheit, while March and February are when Kenya reaches its warmest, averaging between 52- and 80 degrees Fahrenheit” (IExplore, n.d). Since Kenya has a lot of land and different regions within Kenya, each region has its own climate, which makes it difficult to generalize the Kenyan weather. Even though generally you cannot generalize the weather, you could apply some tips universally to its climate. The weather is dictated by monsoon winds, which help bring its high temperatures down to a more cooling effect, while the winds encourage the country’s rainy season, which is the longest because it lasts from April to June (Zijlma, 2020). These climate patterns in Kenya are crucial to its development because Its climate dictates how the Kenyan people need to adapt to their environment.
