Country: Kenya
Lead organisation: Itanya Africa Group
Through their project, Itanya Africa Group prioritises regenerative farming practices that work in harmony with nature by promoting biodiversity, improving soil health, and enhancing ecosystem resilience. Through capacity building, the project team will educate farmers on sustainable and regenerative agricultural practices as well as financial tools, empowering them with knowledge to transform their farming methods. They will establish demo farms to provide practical, hands-on learning experiences for farmers. These farms serve as living laboratories where farmers can see regenerative practices in action.
Itanya Africa Group is also working to establish partnerships with ventures for off-taking produce and provide access to cold storage facilities through digitised systems, ensuring that farmers have reliable market access, which will reduce post-harvest losses and help with predictability and financial planning. They will also address water scarcity issues by constructing household-based water pans. The pans provide essential water for farming but also increase climate resilience by enabling farmers to manage water resources effectively.
