Empowering Farmers in Kenya
Integrating agroforestry and water conservation into sustainable farming practices for enhanced resilience across the Lake Basin region
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.
Trees Planted
Water Structures Built
Farmers Trained
Yield Increase
Ke Devries Farm already supports farmers through soil testing, extension services, training, and input delivery, which has led to measurable yield gains. However, 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
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
Helping members affected by floods move and find shelter
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
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
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
