Samuel Wathome is a prominent figure in the Kenyan agricultural sector, known for his efforts to protect farmers' rights and promote sustainable farming practices. He has been actively involved in legal actions against restrictive agricultural laws, particularly those that criminalize the sharing of indigenous seeds.
