Going Nuts for Sustainability

In Meru, Eastern Kenya, smallholder farmers are experiencing a transformative journey thanks to a strategic partnership between Sistema.bio and Nutri-nuts. This collaboration aims to empower farmers, enhance sustainability, and revolutionize agricultural practices in the region.
Through the partnership with Nutri-nuts, Sistema.bio has provided biodigesters to farmers in the region, enabling them to utilize biofertilizer to boost their yields. Nutri-nuts, on the other hand, supplies macadamia seedlings to farmers and purchases macadamia and other fruits from these farmers for value addition and export. This collaboration has facilitated the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices while supporting farmers’ incomes and enhancing the productivity of their farms.

One of the key initiatives of the partnership is the installation of biogas units on farmers’ dairy farms. These units provide a sustainable source of energy while utilizing dairy manure for biogas production and organic farming. With support from a revolving fund provided by Root Capital, Sistema.bio has facilitated the installation of 60+ biogas units, transforming farm operations and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Our partnership is making a tangible difference in the lives of smallholder farmers in Meru. By providing access to sustainable agricultural solutions, farmers are experiencing increased productivity, reduced energy costs, and improved incomes. The adoption of biogas technology is also promoting environmental sustainability and contributing to the fight against climate change.

Working hand in hand with Nutri-nuts, we’re witnessing the incredible impact of sustainable practices and economic empowerment on smallholder farmers in Meru. We are working to not only transform agriculture but to also change lives and build a brighter future for our community. It’s a privilege to be part of this journey, and we’re excited to continue making a difference, one macadamia farm at a time.
