Food Insecurity in Kenya

Author(s) Ms. Sarah Njeri Mungai
Country United States
Abstract Food insecurity remains a critical challenge in Kenya, undermining the fundamental human right to food and hindering national development. This review synthesizes evidence from peer-reviewed literature and official reports to analyze the drivers, impacts, and potential solutions to this crisis. Despite the global definition of food security established at the 1996 World Food Summit , Kenya continues to struggle with ensuring that all its citizens have consistent access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food. The findings indicate that food insecurity is a multifaceted problem driven primarily by climate variability, which causes frequent droughts and floods that disrupt agricultural production. These environmental shocks are compounded by socio-economic factors such as poverty, rapid urbanization, and political instability. The consequences are severe, including high rates of acute food insecurity, malnutrition, and increased vulnerability among populations in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs). This paper concludes that addressing food insecurity in Kenya requires an integrated approach that combines climate-resilient agricultural strategies with robust policy interventions aimed at strengthening governance, improving market access, and building household resilience to shocks.
