Empowering Farmers in Kenya
Integrating agroforestry and water conservation into sustainable farming practices for enhanced resilience across the Lake Basin region
Five pillars driving transformative climate action and sustainable development across the Lake Basin region
Strengthen climate-smart agricultural systems and promote environmentally sustainable production
Scale ecosystem restoration through agroforestry, reforestation, and conservation agriculture
Integrate gender equality and youth empowerment across all initiatives
Develop and operationalize carbon and ecosystem service markets to enhance community incentives
Mobilize joint resources and technical expertise to expand community resilience, food security, and green jobs
Building on KE Devries' proven success in soil testing, extension services, and training programs, we're expanding our impact through integrated climate-smart solutions that strengthen both farm productivity and environmental resilience.

Yield Increase
KE Devries Farm already supports farmers through soil testing, extension services, training, and input delivery, which has led to measurable yield gains. To strengthen climate resilience, soil fertility, and water availability, we're implementing two interlinked approaches:
Trees and shrubs planted alongside crops to enrich soil, reduce erosion, and provide diversified income
Farm-level engineering to capture and retain water for crop growth during dry spells
Empowering farmers with practical climate-smart agricultural techniques
Building strategic partnerships to scale climate action, restoration, and sustainable livelihoods across multiple counties
Collaborative development of agriculture, land restoration, climate adaptation, and carbon offset initiatives
Mobilizing funding from development partners, climate finance institutions, and private sector investors
Joint training and mentorship for farmers, youth, and women groups on climate-smart practices
Community-based carbon farming and forest restoration for carbon credit certification
Our comprehensive approach addresses both environmental sustainability and economic viability for farming communities across the region.
Enhance soil fertility through nitrogen-fixing trees
Provide shade and windbreaks, reducing crop stress
Diversify farmer income via fruits, nuts, and timber
Increase carbon sequestration for climate change mitigation
Reduce soil erosion and water runoff losses
Improve water infiltration and retention during dry periods
Increase crop yields in semi-arid and drought-prone zones
Build long-term water security for farming communities
Integrating trees into farming systems for enhanced productivity, sustainability, and resilience
Expert training on planting Gliricidia sepium, Calliandra calothyrsus, and Sesbania sesban alongside crops for enhanced soil fertility
Introduction of income-generating fruit trees including mango, avocado, and pawpaw for diversified farmer income
Complete seedling supply and planting materials through our established input delivery system
Hands-on learning through integrated tree planting in existing demonstration farms
Supporting communities through climate-related challenges
Engineering solutions to capture, retain, and optimize water usage for sustainable crop production
Training farmers in slope management techniques to prevent soil erosion and maximize water retention
Demonstrating water capture techniques specifically designed for drought-prone and semi-arid areas
Building water retention structures in high runoff areas for improved groundwater recharge
Linking water conservation structures to agroforestry tree lines for maximum dual benefits
Communities working together to build sustainable water management systems
Contour farming and fanya-juu terraces for slope management
Zai pits for water capture in arid and semi-arid zones
Shallow ponds for water retention in high runoff areas
Building lasting change through community ownership, economic viability, and strategic reinvestment
Documenting successes to attract additional investment
Phased scaling across additional counties
Strengthening partnerships for sustained funding
Our integrated approach delivers measurable benefits for farmers, communities, and the environment
Nitrogen-fixing trees naturally enrich soil nutrients
Improved water retention for year-round crop production
Better adaptation to changing weather patterns
Multiple revenue streams from crops, fruits, and timber
Contributing to climate change mitigation efforts
Less dependency on external fertilizers and irrigation
Empowering the next generation through our flagship 4K-Club program that combines climate-smart agriculture with youth development
Our 4K-Club program (Kuungana, Kufanya, Kusaidia Kenya - "Coming together, Doing, Helping Kenya") nurtures school-going children to embrace SMART Agriculture and agroforestry while building climate resilience.
