    How our innovation is working towards transforming landscapes in Kenya & beyond
    A seedball is simply a seed inside a ball of charcoal dust mixed with some nutritious binders and then broadcasted on the fields. Direct planting of seeding reduces transplant shock and helps the young trees grow stronger roots which in turn helps them grow into stronger trees. However, use of seedballs helps in protecting the […]

    Production of Biogas Using Kitchen waste
    Biogas systems is not limited to cow slurry only. Peelings of potatoes, eggshells and leftovers of food can be used in the biogas systems to produce biogas. Application of cow slurry into the biogas systems can be done once or twice in a week then the rest can be subsidized with the kitchen wastes. Production […]

    Hydroponics and Climate smart agriculture practices farmers are adapting to – Part 1
    Climate change poses a significant threat to farmers and to sustainability of their output. A change in climate may reduce cereal yields globally b 10-20% by 2050‘s in absence of adaptation. Climate smart agriculture is about increasing farm productivity in an environmentally and socially sustainable way. It includes proven techniques such as mulching and developing […]

    Production of clean potato seedlings through hydroponics system – Part 2
    Seed rotation increases the risk of disease infestation such as bacteria wilt. Crops like, canola, Brassica napus which provide bio- fumigation to potatoes and reduces the number of seed nematodes. Planting potatoes in a field is recommended only once in four years to reduce cases of infestation on clean seeds. Avoid capsicum, tomatoes as they […]

    Production of clean potato seedlings through hydroponics system – Part 1
    Changes in weather patterns have caused unpredictable rainy seasons leading to floods and severe droughts affecting food security hence low crop and food production from farms. Kenya is a potential potato producing country due to cool temperatures in the highland regions. Climate smart agriculture helps farmers counter inadequate water challenges during food production and on […]
