Kenya will host the 2026 Annual Meeting of the World Farmers’ Organization (WFO) from 8 to 11 June 2026. The global event will be organized by Kenya National Farmers’ Federation (KENAFF) in partnership with the Ministry.
The meeting, themed “Future Fields: Investing in Farmers’ Organisations and Empowering Communities for Sustainable Agriculture,” will convene leaders from 65 countries, alongside policymakers, financiers, private sector players, scientists and multilateral agencies.
CS Sen. Mutahi Kagwe termed the hosting a great honor, noting that farming is now about commercial transformation, decent incomes, youth participation and technology. He emphasized that food security and economic growth depend on putting farmers first.
WFO Secretary General Andrea Porro underscored the need for financing that directly reaches farmers and dignified incomes to sustain the profession, especially as countries grapple with attracting young farmers.The meeting will spotlight youth engagement, digital innovation, soil health, fair trade and farmer-focused financing, while showcasing Kenya’s dynamic agricultural ecosystem.
The 2026 gathering is set to reinforce Kenya’s position as a continental and global leader in farmer-driven, technology-powered commercial agriculture.
