🌱 Milestone Alert! 🌍 We’re excited to share that 50 acres of land—an area equivalent to 30 soccer fields—are now being farmed regeneratively at our farms in Makueni County. As a result, farmers' harvests have doubled! Here’s why this milestone matters: 🌾 Restoring Degraded Land: Our regenerative practices are healing the soil, reversing the damage of unsustainable farming, and paving the way for natural vegetation to flourish. 🌍 Sustainable Food Production: With unpredictable climate conditions, regenerative farming makes our land more resilient, ensuring consistent, reliable food for the future. 👩🌾 A Model for All: Our 50 acres serve as a living example, inspiring farmers, communities, and policymakers to embrace sustainable farming practices across Kenya because it can be done! 🌳 Climate Action: By sequestering carbon, our land is not only being restored but is actively fighting climate change. 🤝 Empowering Communities: The benefits of regenerative farming extend to the communities, providing better yields, stable incomes, and a deeper connection to the land.
