The traditional Maasai diet centered on milk, blood, and occasionally meat, all from cattle. It was a pastoralist diet, protein-rich and adapted to mobility. Drought, herd loss, and land pressure have forced adaptation. Maize, beans, and purchased food are now staples. Chronic food insecurity is common in Maasai areas, especially during droughts that kill livestock and leave families with nothing. Relief food arrives, but it is not enough. Climate change is making droughts longer and more frequent, and the Maasai are adapting their diet, their economy, and their expectations.
