Kiasili Farm is a Sustainable and Healthy Food Systems Champion. We provide cutting-edge technological farming protocols and innovations with a unique business model and logistics that are revolutionizing farming and creating an end-to-end digital marketplace that enables global industries to source indigenous and traditional food crops (ITFCs) from all over the world using IoT, big data, AI and block chain technology. We believe that Food security can only be truly realized by incorporating traditional knowledge that utilizes food for mental, physical, social, and environmental health. Our aim is to facilitate this through the B2B and B2C and e-Commerce Digital Marketplace platform that offers avenue for carrying out cost-effective, climate-friendly transactions between farmers and 4 million consumer households. Further, the B2B Platform offers: 1. 3 million Smallholder farmers - consistent access to Kiasili ITFCs, unique services i.e. natural pest control, natural fertilizer, financial support through loans, sustainable farming education 2. 400 Hotels i.e. plastic & food waste recycling, value-chain sustainability training 3. 800 Nutritionists/Health Facilities – offer consistent access to ITFCs Additionally, Kiasili Nature is an initiative that is run by Kiasili Farm that promotes physical and mental well-being and rallies the masses to take climate action. The initiative has three projects currently running. The first being the involvement of the consumers and major hotels in Nairobi and Mombasa Cities in composting organic food waste and channeling the same to our farmers for use as organic, clean, natural fertilizer thus reducing the use of harmful, chemical-based synthetic fertilizers. The second project involves a plastic waste collection initiative with Mr. Green Africa where Kiasili sets up a plastic waste collection point in our residential areas and business premises for recycling thus reducing the domestic plastic waste; which is estimated to be 10-12% of the total waste in Kenya. The third is the Ecosystem Festival of Action. This is an environmental action gathering held annually on World Environment Day combining practical ecosystem restoration work like tree-planting, with a full line-up of workshops, arts, entertainment, talks and activities from sustainability experts.
