VOICED: Kenya flower farms go green to beat economic crisis

The video discusses a flower farm near Nairobi, Kenya, which grows over 40 varieties of flowers. Despite a 15% drop in exports to Western Europe due to the European financial crisis, the farm has innovated by harvesting rainwater, building biogas plants, and using predator insects to reduce chemical use. These innovations benefit both profits and the environment. The flower industry employs 90,000 people in Kenya and is a significant foreign exchange earner. It has adapted to challenges like the 2010 volcanic ash cloud by expanding to new markets such as Japan, reducing reliance on European financial stability.
