At Fruitful Agri Ventures Ltd , we understand the critical importance of soil health for smallholder farmers in Kenya. For too long, poor soil management, lack of awareness, and limited resources have hindered agricultural productivity, leading to declining food production and increased poverty levels. That's why we are committed to empowering smallholder farmers through comprehensive solutions aimed at improving soil health and transforming livelihoods. Through a combination of tailored trainings, affordable soil testing services, and support in utilizing locally available resources to amend soils, we're equipping farmers with the knowledge and tools they need to rejuvenate their land sustainably. By promoting sustainable farming practices, we're not only increasing yields but also reducing production costs, ultimately fostering greater food security and economic stability for these communities. We firmly believe that by empowering just one farmer to achieve optimum production, we're igniting a ripple effect that positively impacts the entire society. Join us in our mission to cultivate change, one farmer at a time. #SoilHealth #SustainableFarming #EmpoweringFarmers #FoodSecurity #KenyaAgriculture #CommunityDevelopment #FruitfulAgriVenturesLtd

🇬🇭 Farmers rise to the climate challenge in Ghana! Like smallholder farmers around the world, erratic rainfall and rising temperatures in Ghana are an existential threat to food security for farmers. The Acting Now project from Solidaridad West Africa is introducing climate-smart agriculture practices to equip 9,000 rice, maize, and vegetable growers with the knowledge and tools they need to thrive in a changing climate. Smallholder farmers have started to implement improved agricultural practices, such as better seed selection, irrigation and pest management, all while reducing their environmental impact. And Solidaridad’s Acting Now project goes beyond training to connect farmers with service providers so they have easier access to essential tools and resources. This not only improves yields but also strengthens local agricultural networks. In building resilience to climate change, Ghana's farmers have become critical player in efforts for a food-secure future.

#NestarCoffee nestarcoffee.com #Uganda #HaltAndReverseForesloss Uganda’s forest cover has declined from 35% to 15% over the past 100 years, with an estimated forest cover loss of 88,000 ha per year. Increasing agricultural activities and weak forest governance are putting pressure on forest resources and forest lands. Other drivers of deforestation in Uganda include charcoal production, firewood harvesting, livestock grazing, timber production, and human settlement and urbanization. These drivers have caused a significant decline in forest vegetation and forest products, as well as triggering conflicts over access, use and control of forest resources. The Forest Carbon Partnership Facility (FCPF) has created a normative framework for REDD+ readiness and provides a robust platform for information exchange and knowledge sharing on a wide range of REDD+ design and implementation issues. click the link below to learn more... on #FCPFStandard and mandate https://lnkd.in/dbaxv6TE Source: https://lnkd.in/dTeAbZ7B

In the wake of Nigeria’s economic decline, agriculture has become more than a profession—it’s a nation-saving grace. As industries struggle and opportunities shrink, a surprising shift is emerging: 30% of urban men are embracing agriculture and farming. Urban farming has become a critical tool for supplementing incomes and improving food security. These men are transforming balconies into gardens, rooftops into farms, and vacant plots into thriving spaces for crop production and livestock. It’s more than survival—it’s innovation and resilience in action. FarmCI recognises this occurrence as a vital part of Nigeria’s agricultural agenda. Urban men stepping into agriculture symbolize the collective effort needed to rebuild and revitalize the sector. From addressing food insecurity to inspiring sustainable practices, they remind us that agriculture remains the backbone of our nation’s recovery and growth. Let’s encourage this drive and dedication as we strive for a future where agriculture feeds not just our bodies but also our economy. #FarmCIFridayFact #UrbanFarming #AgricultureInNigeria #ResilienceThroughFarming #FarmCI

My theory for change has grown from the need to empower farmers in climate-smart agricultural activities while having control of their finances and making informed decisions about their livelihoods and families. Two-thirds of smallholder farmers in Kenya work on land plots smaller than an eighth of an acre. Many are poor with food insecurity and limited access to markets and services. Their choices are constrained, but they farm their lands and produce food for a substantial proportion of the region's population. Due to changing dynamics, the youths farming the lands now lack a coherent product that could be produced easily in urban setups at the least cost with environmental benefits in response to adverse climatic conditions, while at the same time the need to farm crops organically, for health purposes.   I considered rabbit farming because of the livestock-rearing history I have. The need to use constrained resources efficiently, for people to eat healthy, urbanization, climatic conditions, and improvement of the environment and soils while having less carbon footprint made my informed choice of rabbit farming.

The majority of southern Africa's rural population relies on agriculture for their livelihoods. Transitioning from subsistence farming to market-oriented production (commercialization) holds immense potential to boost the income and well-being of smallholder farmers while also fueling economic growth. Understanding the critical role of empowering smallholder farmers and facilitating their access to markets is key to driving sustainable economic development across the region. This isn't just a goal; it's a necessity for ensuring the prosperity of smallholder farmers and contributing to the broader economic growth of southern Africa. #EmpoweringFarmers #MarketAccess #EconomicGrowth #SustainableAgriculture #DisruptThePovertyTrap
