This hands-on session blends storytelling, live cooking, and community knowledge to make the case for honey as a powerful but undervalued product at the intersection of rangelands, beekeeping, and food system transformation. Samuel Kiryanga from Grevy’s Zebra Trust shares how beekeeping through the Ramat assisted natural regeneration model is creating new income streams and shifting mindsets.
At the same time, Olga Awanda from GLFx Mombasa describes how mangrove honey production along Kenya’s coast supports marine conservation without degrading ecosystems. Chef Chloe from Nairobi’s Fig and Olive rounds out the session with a live cooking demonstration – crafting a climate-resilient grain salad dressed with honey, tamarind, and local ingredients – making the case that pearl millet, cassava, and orange sweet potato deserve a far bigger place in our diets and our landscapes.
