Nakuru County, ranked number one nationally in agriculture in the 2025 County Agricultural Sector Steering Committee (CASSCOM) performance report, is reinforcing its leadership in sustainable farming.

Following the official launch of the Nakuru County Agroecology Policy on December 10, 2025, the county recently convened the Agroecology Multi‑Stakeholder Forum, marking a decisive step in turning policy into coordinated, inclusive, and impactful action.
