The Mombasa ASK Show 2025 served as an ideal venue for Coast Academy students to explore innovative approaches to agriculture and trade in the face of climate change. The event showcased how Kenya is embracing climate-smart agriculture to ensure food security while promoting economic growth.
Students were introduced to revolutionary farming practices designed to combat climate change. They learned about:
- Drought-resistant crops and farming techniques that help farmers adapt to changing weather patterns.
- Water conservation methods that are crucial for coastal regions like Mombasa.
- Sustainable livestock management practices that reduce environmental impact.
- Modern agricultural technology, including mechanized equipment and tractors that increase efficiency while reducing carbon footprints.

They observed various animal breeds, learned about sustainable animal husbandry practices, and even enjoyed camel rides—a unique experience that connected them with traditional Kenyan culture while understanding the role of livestock in climate-resilient farming systems.
Students from Coast Academy International School interacted with professionals from various sectors, including law enforcement, agricultural sciences, and environmental conservation. These interactions helped broaden their perspective on career opportunities that contribute to Kenya’s sustainable economic growth.
