OUR PILLARS
Our work revolves around three core pillars; Food Security, Climate Action, and Sustainable Livelihood, guiding every initiative we undertake to ensure a better future for farmers and the nation at large
Food Security
True food security begins with knowledge and practice. Through our Farmers Exchange Program, we bring farmers together for hands-on training in a designated county, creating a vibrant learning environment centered around a prepared model farm.
This model farm is more than just a showcase—it is a living classroom featuring diverse crops and livestock, where farmers experience practical demonstrations of modern techniques in:
- Crop management: We start with planting seeds and continue nurturing them into mature crops, or farmers to participate in the hands-on experience
- Livestock care: Enhancing productivity through sustainable feeding, disease management, and breeding practices.
By learning directly in the field, farmers gain the skills and confidence needed to improve their own farms, ensuring they can produce more food sustainably. The knowledge shared doesn’t just stay in one county—it spreads across Kenya, contributing to a resilient and thriving food system.
Climate Action
We believe that every farm can be a force for environmental good and, as part of our commitment to climate action, we actively encourage farmers to dedicate 10% of their land to planting trees. Planting trees is not just an act of sustainability—it’s a way to alter the ecosystem of entire regions positively.
This simple yet powerful practice combats climate change by:
- Sequestering carbon: Trees absorb carbon dioxide, helping to reduce greenhouse gas levels.
- Restoring ecosystems: Tree planting improves soil health & conserves water in farming
- Enhancing resilience: Trees break wind, protect crops and livestock, making farms more resilient to climate extremes.
Sustainable Livelihoods
We are passionate about turning farming into a profitable and sustainable enterprise. One of the most impactful ways we achieve this is through Value Addition Training, where farmers gain skills to transform raw agricultural products into high-value goods.
By practicing value addition:
- Farmers can earn 2-3 times more by selling processed products like flour, jams, or dried fruits instead of raw produce.
- Value addition increases the shelf life of crops, significantly reducing post-harvest losses and ensuring more food reaches the market.
- The need for convenience makes Processed goods appeal to a broader range of consumers, opening up new markets and creating additional income streams for farmers.
Our value-Addition trainings not only boost individual incomes but also strengthens the entire community by creating job opportunities, reducing waste, and enhancing food security on local communities.
We also host the Sokoni Agri- Business Expo & The Farmers Exchange & Expo, Where Farmers with Value Added Products are able to showcase their products to customers who buy and continue to patronize them.
Our Projects:
- Sokoni Agri-Business Expo, we host The Sokoni Agri-Business Expo for Value-Addition farm producers & Food Innovators.
- Farmers Exchange & Exhibition where farmers get to learn from their fellow farmers in different counties.
- Conference on Africa- Agricultural Productivity (CAAP- Conference), The CAAP conference is where industry leaders gather to create a roadmap that will enable farmers to increase their agricultural productivity.
- Agri-Profits, this is a training for employed people, who would like to practice farming as a part-time income generating activity
