A Farm Africa led program proves that healthier soil can mean bigger harvests and stronger incomes for smallholder families.
Since 2017, Kenya's STRAK program has trained over 60,000 smallholder farmers in regenerative techniques like intercropping, agroforestry, and crop rotation, with striking results already showing in the fields.
Independent researchers confirmed the gains: yields up by as much as 81%, soil water retention improved by 92%, and farms showing measurably healthier, more fertile soil across thousands of sampled plots.
The real power lies in how the knowledge spreads: trained farmers teach their neighbors, turning one program into a growing network of sustainable agriculture across rural Kenya, proving that regenerating the land can also regenerate local economies.
- STRAK trained 60,000+ farmers since 2017
- Yields up to 81% higher, soil water retention up 92%
- Science-backed results from 2,000 farm samples
- Knowledge spreads farmer to farmer, multiplying impact
- Model shows regenerative agriculture boosts both environment and income
