Absolutely. We have thought about that for a long but are not sure of how to begin or who will support the move. But we want to make it happen if there are those who will be interested.
@@jacquelinemwaniki6465 Beautiful. Please keep storing as much as you can and permaculture is good way to go. As per a public seed bank, it's complex because of the various seed policies that African governments have been foolishly making. But I believe private seed banks might be the way to go. Public seed banks are easy targets but private ones can stay hidden from those who want to destroy indigenous seeds.
Thank you very much for watching. Nature definitely is what we need to return to and start to live in harmony again. Please don't forget to subscribe to this channel, like and share the video. That's how we reach more of our people. Thank you kindly
Absolutely. And we need to do all we can to protect them from those who flourish in destroying things that they can't control. Thank you for watching. Please don't forget to subscribe to this channel, like and share the video. Thank you very much.
Excellent presentation,we need more of you, how i cry for Africa. Everything that was working for Africans for centuries was made inferior by the European man,including ours foods now look at this examples that make me proud of Africa. Great job my sister how i wish someone can commercialize production of African grains the market is readily available at home ,maize is a scam food we need to gradually do away with, viva Africa.
Agreed. That's why I love the Ethiopians, they are very deligent in preserving that which was handed down to them from their ancestors. We definitely need to go back to cultivating the grains that are native to Africa. Thank you for watching
@@mwenichibwa6147 The thing about sourcing for these seeds is that, you don't find everyone of them in country or even region in Africa. They are kind of scattered across the continent. But I will search for the ones that are within Kenya where I am based and then share.
This information should be taught in all African schools. Extremely valuable knowledge to humanity. So sad and tragic really to see most Kenyan agronomist advising farmers to use hybrid seed and all sorts of chemicals in their farms. It seems their education and training is extremely compromised by the pharmaceutical industry and chemical companies. What a shame? Anyway God Bless
Its terrifying to say the least. In Kenya, farmers now have what they call improved local or Kienyeji chicken. And am like, are you guys serious? It's like people have kept their thinking caps in their wardrobes and are now doing mostly anything that the makers of these agricultural disasters tell them to do. But we will keep sharing what we believe our people need. But also, help share the link to this video with as many people as you can. That's how we will reach more people. God bless you too.
@@soinda87 true. They are living the fake American dream but missing the entire point of what it means to be African. Anyways, we must teach those who are open to learn Please like and share this video to reach more people. Thanks a lot for watching
We are brainwashed. Try telling someone that pesticides, insecticides and herbicides are destroying soil, the environment and our health. You'll receive backslash.
Hello dear we can make it happen by more farming everywhere in the continent a lot wants to work in government or working for someone while the land is there to grow food for our poor people God bless you
Thanks a lot. Oh my! I wish I can tell you how much we are seeking for those who have land that they can offer for these things . We do not currently have land to use but we hope and pray to have. Thanks for watching the video and please remember to share with others. We need critical mass now to get things done
Omg many grains in India are similar to Africa i don't how they are came here but it is really fascinating.. Sorghum and pearl millet is stape here in India🇮🇳 sorghum is so sustainable because itt need very little water in compare to other crops
@@Realatmx True. Me I just think the whole world is one. Its just some idiotic humans that are trying to create the divide. They enjoy the proceed of divide and conquer. Anyway, we need to go back and embrace the indigenous crops that have worked for our people for thousands of years. Its our duty to do so. Thanks for watching. Please like and share the video link.
Like I had mentioned in other comments these plants are not concentrated in one region in the continent. Thus the seeds are also scattered across Africa. So I can't tell you go to so and so and you will find the seeds. But what we all should begin to do is gather and keep the seeds that are in our locality. At least each one can begin from there. But to have a particular location where all the seeds will be available, that i do not think is possible. Except someone has done the business of gathering them from across the continent in one space.
@@gaza1677 thats true. It was mostly used for feeding the workers who worked in the farms of the Europeans on the very land that they stole from the locals. Maize was cheaper and like a third-grade food compared to sorghum, African rice, millet etc. But we will do a more in depth video on it.
@@MsingiAfrikaTV where is the evidence...this is all hear say provide the proof...who and when.. we shouldn't just take what others say without evidence
@@okey9236 well before we do a video on the evidence you're looking for, can you at least begin doing your research on the questions you're asking? By the way, We don't have to prove anything to you. Start doing your research.
Really enjoyed this. Thank you for such good info! We need it so much especially given the state of food in the world. I try to grow organic and indigenous (if possible - hard to do that with things like corn that has been messed with quite a bit). I'm trying sorghum and cow peas for the first time and i can't wait to see the results. I would love to know more about the red rice...i've had black rice but never red. Btw - where can i get that book - lost crops of africa?
Thank you for taking time to watch the video. And am also very glad that you are consciously going doing the organic farming. And yes, maize is mightily compromised and we really advice our people to cut down on it if not do away with it completely. Soghum and cowpea .. beautiful. You can get the books if you if you join this telegram group. Use this link to join:t.me/MsingiAfrikaConnect
Sorrty, but the Indeos people of the north and south america have their own native wild rice for more than 12000 years. Not just asian or african. cheers.
It is so refreshing to see you encouraging people to go back to eat these nutritious grains.
Thank you. But some people still think we are creating false narratives.
We need to develop seed banks to store free seeds that God gave us. Its our heritage
Absolutely. We have thought about that for a long but are not sure of how to begin or who will support the move. But we want to make it happen if there are those who will be interested.
There are seed banks around the country. One i know for sure is based in Gilgil - the seed savers network.
@@KevinandRarin oh great. I will search for them
I'd like to be a part of this. I've started collecting seeds that are considered indigenous. I've also started practicing permaculture
@@jacquelinemwaniki6465 Beautiful. Please keep storing as much as you can and permaculture is good way to go.

Great that you are fighting back. Nature is best. Indigenous grains and grasses should always be prioritised. Well done.

Excellent presentation! It would be great if here in the U.S., we could order organic products from Afrika. 🌾🥖🥑🌍👍🏽
Of course you can. Just let us know on email or WhatsApp what you will need and then we will ask around about how it can be shipped and at what cost.
Wow, that's great news!@@MsingiAfrikaTV

@@MsingiAfrikaTV Will most definitely do so if you are aware of where the seeds can be sourced from that would be great too.

Sadly parents are not teaching their kids a valuable lesson on gardening. Most kids in Africa have no clue about food.

Please make it available in the continent you can make money
All of this is good. But the question is where are the seeds? Where do we find the seeds so we can plant them?
Like I had mentioned in other comments these plants are not concentrated in one region in the continent. Thus the seeds are also scattered across Africa. So I can't tell you go to so and so and you will find the seeds. But what we all should begin to do is gather and keep the seeds that are in our locality. At least each one can begin from there.

Jeepers!
You read directly from the book- Lost Crops of Africa (grains)
I don't know if this is a question or a statement. Anyway, we copied out the summary of the book, rewrote it for the video as an excerpt.
How can we find the seeds if we wanted to grow them.
Can these lost grains be found in the coast of Kenya ?
Almost all the common foods we eat are exotic
We keep saying maize is not indigenous to Africa can someone show the evidence to support how it was introduced to the continent
Maybe at a later time we can do a video on that.
They are indigenous to Mexico brought by the Europeans
@@gaza1677 thats true. It was mostly used for feeding the workers who worked in the farms of the Europeans on the very land that they stole from the locals. Maize was cheaper and like a third-grade food compared to sorghum, African rice, millet etc. But we will do a more in depth video on it.

I am trying to buy Finger Millet for years but, nobody is selling it here in Europe. It's a super food and the richest of all the millets
@@Atimatimukti Yeah! Its a whole food and very nutritious. We have it plenty in Kenya.
