Layla Liebetrau is the Project Lead of the Route to Food Initiative at the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Nairobi. She has a background in psychology, political science and communications. Her work in Kenya involves advocating for agricultural development policies that support sustainable food systems and food sovereignty, as well as the use of creative communications and political engagement to strengthen public accountability for the Right to Food. Through the Initiative, Layla works closely with small-scale farmers, like-minded grassroots organisations, the media, policy-makers and the wider public, to foster a socially inclusive, cross-sectoral discourse on chronic food insecurity and food rights in Kenya.
