Unseen Threat in Our Fields: The Silent Menace of Aflatoxins.
Imagine harvesting a bountiful crop and believing you’re providing safe, nutritious food only to discover that an invisible enemy has infiltrated your yield. Aflatoxins, produced by certain fungi, slip past all senses. They’re colourless, odourless and tasteless, yet their impact can be devastating, from liver damage to cancer.
The Invisible Danger on Our Plates
- Aflatoxins develop under warm, humid conditions common in maize, sorghum and groundnuts.
- Chronic exposure carries severe health risks, undermining community well-being and productivity.
- Economic losses spike when contaminated grain is rejected, affecting farmers’ incomes and market reputation.
We can’t afford to ignore this hidden hazard. Every kernel matters both for the farmer’s livelihood and for the health of families across Kenya and beyond.
