July 14, 2021 Brian Mouti learned all he knew about farming from his parents. In 2016, he began farming on his own and faced severe challenges from recurring droughts. From his small homestead, where he lives with his wife and son, he wrestled with what could be done for the small plot of farmland he rents just downhill from his home. His two-acre farm is in the village of Kapsita, at the base of the Mau forest in Kenya’s Nakuru County, where most farms rely solely on rainwater to irrigate their crops. Rainfall is increasingly uncertain because of climate change, leading to precarious dry seasons. Although he was raised on a farm, nothing could have prepared Brian for the harsh consequences of climate change.
