With funding from AGRA, Farm Africa’s Sustainable agricultural value chain enterprises in central Kenya (SAVES) project is creating sustainable and inclusive agricultural systems that increase food security, incomes and climate resilience for smallholder farmers and broader rural communities in Meru, Kirinyaga and Laikipia counties.

A collection of impact stories from Farm Africa’s work to boost food security and nutrition in Uganda.

Smallholder farmers across eastern Kenya are witnessing dramatic transformations in their yields, incomes and resilience to climate change, thanks to Farm Africa’s Strengthening Regenerative Agriculture in Kenya (STRAK) project. Funded by the IKEA Foundation through AGRA, the STRAK initiative is redefining sustainable farming in Embu and Tharaka Nithi counties. Over 50,000 farmers have been directly supported to adopt regenerative agricultural practices that restore soil health, conserve water and boost profits, all while safeguarding the environment.

A collection of stories from the Youth in Sustainable Aquaculture, a partnership programme with the Mastercard Foundation and consortium partners led by Farm Africa that aims to strengthen resilient livelihoods through innovative aquaculture practices, enabling work opportunities for young women and men.

This learning paper describes how a three-year Farm Africa project in the ecologically vital Ilu Ababor Zone of Ethiopia successfully protected natural forests while improving the livelihoods of 4,000 people through sustainable coffee production and alternative income sources.

In October 2024, Farm Africa convened a roundtable discussion with female industry leaders in Nairobi, Kenya as part of its Growing Resilience and Opportunities for Women (GROW) initiative. This report summarises the key themes and conclusion of the discussion, which explored women’s role in the global food system and ways to drive positive change.

Involving rural communities is important for effective forest conservation, however, women are often excluded from playing an active role in forest-related decision-making, despite the high dependency of rural women on forest products such as fuelwood and non-timber forest products and clear evidence that women’s participation in forest management groups can result in better resource governance and conservation outcomes. This paper unravels the gender relations in rural forest dependent communities in Ethiopia by taking a closer look at the country’s Bale Ecoregion, located in the Oromia regional state.

In 2023 we reached 612,441 people, each with a unique story to tell.
