🌱 SOIL: THE FOUNDATION OF LIFE

Beneath our feet lies one of the most important resources sustaining life — soil.

In this Afripulse Media feature story, we take you to the Maasai Mara University Botanical Garden in Narok County to explore the importance of soil, its relationship with plant growth, and the role of proper soil management in supporting sustainable agriculture and a healthy environment.

Through insights from Mr. Koikai, a Soil Scientist, we look at the different types of soil, their characteristics, and how factors such as water availability, soil fertility, organic matter, pests, diseases and environmental conditions can influence plant growth.

The feature also highlights the role of the Maasai Mara University Botanical Garden as a space for research, learning and understanding the interaction between plants and their environment.
