Kilimo Bora: A Student’s Poem on Good Agricultural Practices

Hodi hodi ninabisha,naingia ukumbini (Here I come on stage knocking)

Yale kweli ninasema, kilimo na tukuzeni (truly speaking, let us practice sustainable farming)

Ndicho kweli tegemeo,sisi wote kwetu Kenya (because Kenya depends on our agriculture)

Kilimo bora nahimiza, kilimo maisha yetu. (I insist that good farming will bring us better lives)

Mbegu bora tupandeni, tuongezeni mavuno (Let us plant good seeds for better yields)

Utafiti tufanyeni, pasipo kuchoka kamwe (Let us conduct research everyday)

Kilimo uti mgongo, wakenya uhai wake (Farming is the essence of Kenya’s survival)

Kilimo bora nahimiza, kilimo maisha yetu. (I insist that good farming will bring us better lives)

Amkeni sisi wote, shikaneni bega kwa bega (Arise and support one another)

Tufukuze ufukara, kilimo ndicho kiini (Let us eradicate poverty through better farming)

Wazee hata vijana, sisi wote twahimizwa (I encourage both the old and young)

Kilimo bora nahimiza, kilimo maisha yetu. (and insist that good farming will bring us better lives)

Hongera kwa utafiti, gugu hilo tukomeshe (We are eradicating striga thanks to research) 

Tulikomeshe hakika, gugu hilo ni hatari (Eradicate this dangerous striga weed)

mavuno tuinueni, wilaya yetu vihiga (We shall improve our yields in Vihiga District)

kilimo bora nahimiza, kilimo maisha yetu. (I insist that good farming will bring us better lives)
