It is harvest time in Kenya, and Joseph Thika has had to hire workers to help him harvest his cotton crop. Joseph is happy that his genetically modified plants matured faster this year, compared to the variety he used in the past. Kenya is counting on this solution to revive its struggling textile industry.
Thika is one of the many cotton farmers living in Kibibi Kirinyaga county, some 250 kilometers north of Kenya’s capital Nairobi.
