KILIMO HUB

Agriculture is the pillar towards the development of human kind. Ancient civilizations relied on their agricultural propelled strength for wealth and power in conquering other kingdoms. Egypt had its hope on the river Nile flooding and to the Egyptian monarchy, feeding the people was a priority as was seen in the many wheat silos that were built all over. Earliest inventions were geared towards improvements of agriculture as was the invention of the wheel in Mesopotamia. Agriculture has resulted to many revolutions in the world like the French revolution where peasant farmers turned against the ruling regime. The Agrarian revolution saw the birth of modern day agriculture techniques while ancient, renaissance and modern artists have widely depicted agriculture themes in their fine art works and music. Food is important and the saddest thing to a mother is when she looks at her new born face and realizes that she cannot feed the child. Like money, land cannot be multiplied, nevertheless this quote puts it well “planting your own food is like printing your own money”. The call for a well established agricultural system is of great concern hence the need for better farming techniques that can only be attained through modern training. It is with the latter reason that Kilimo Hub was set up under the auspices of Musa Veterinary Clinic.
