跟來自肯亞的 Joy、Nyawira 和他們的朋友說聲哈囉吧！
Say hello to Joy, Nyawira, and their friends.

在肯亞一帶，食品安全是很大的問題。肯亞四分之三的土地屬於乾旱或半乾旱氣候，不易種植農作物。我們發現特定種類的植物，像是仙人掌能夠輕易的在惡劣氣候下存活。如果我們能種出有仙人掌的生命力，同時又兼顧穀物營養的作物，該有多好？研發出這樣的植物，我們就能將貧瘠的變成糧倉。為了研發出如此神奇的植物，我們需要一群科學家來協助我們。
Food security is a major problem in Kenya and around the around. 75% of Kenya is arid or semi-arid, so it is difficult to grow food. We realized that certain plants, such as cacti, grow easily in these climates. What if we were able to develop food crops that grew like cacti but produced foods like maize, sweet potatoes, and beans? If we could develop such crops, then we could turn barren parts of the country into a nourishing breadbasket. In order to create such remarkable crops, we would need a team of scientists to help.
