Answer 2

ANSWER:

Many Kenyans suffer from malnutrition because the government favours cash crops instead of subsistence farming.

EXPLANATION:

• Kenyans suffer from malnutrition because not enough food crops are grown in the country.

• The government favours the growth of cash crops that are sold in the market at a high price. The farmers are not allowed to grow food crops for their own consumption.

• Because of the changing climate and instability, food production suffers and most people fail to get the required amount of nutrition.

• The problem of malnutrition is rampant in Kenya and affects almost 25% of population and especially children.
