Most farmers wake up early, work hard, and go to bed tired. But there’s a question many avoid asking themselves… Are you just surviving… or are you building something bigger? Because there’s a difference. The farmer who is surviving: - Sells when there is pressure - Buys inputs without planning - Has no clear records - Waits for luck, rain. - Is always busy… but never growing The farmer building something bigger: - Plans before planting or stocking - Tracks every coin and every loss - Thinks in months and years, not just today - Builds systems, not just routines - Sees the farm as a business, not just work Same soil. Same weather. Different mindset. One is stuck in a cycle. The other is building a future. You don’t need a big farm to think big. You don’t need many animals to act like a serious farmer. You just need to decide… “Am I doing this to survive… or to grow?” Because the moment you shift your thinking, your farm stops being a struggle… …and starts becoming an opportunity.

In times with rising fuel and fertilizer prices, it is crucial to utilise all resources for cooking and food production. Anaerobic digestion provides a clean and cheap fuel and organic fertilizers that build soil quality and boost crop yields. #biogas #digestate #bioslurry

La technologie du biodigesteur agit comme un catalyseur dans les communautés rurales et péri-urbaines au Sénégal. Le #PNB_SN, met en lumière les impacts concrets du biodigesteur, à la croisée des enjeux socio-économiques et environnementaux. #MoisDuBiodigesteur #ABAOC

What sectors are better placed to absorb Africa’s growing workforce? The continent has the youngest population in the world, with more than 60% of people under 25 and millions entering the job market every year. IFAD’s Agribusiness Hub Programme takes a multi-stakeholder approach to increasing rural youth employment. The programme's first phase has almost tripled its initial targets through smart investment in the agrifood sector, creating over 59,000 wage and self-employment opportunities across agribusiness value chains.

Herbs farming in Kenya has evolved from a kitchen garden activity into a sophisticated export-oriented business with million-shilling potential. Walk through the fertile fields of Kiambu, the highlands of Nyeri, or the organized farms in Naivasha, and you will find farmers who have abandoned traditional crops to focus on herbs. The reason is simple. Herbs offer quick returns, multiple harvests, and access to premium markets that pay in foreign currency. The numbers attract serious farmers. A quarter-acre plot of basil generates 50,000 to 80,000 shillings monthly. Coriander yields 1,500 to 2,000 kilograms per acre in 30 days, selling at 80 to 120 shillings per kilogram. With multiple cycles annually, monthly incomes of 100,000 to 300,000 shillings are achievable from small plots. Exporters pay premium prices for quality produce, with some herbs fetching 300 to 500 shillings per kilogram in European markets. The global "clean label" and "wellness" trends drive demand in 2026. Consumers seek natural ingredients, herbal teas, and fresh culinary herbs. Supermarkets like Naivas and Carrefour stock fresh herbs year-round. Hotels and restaurants demand consistent supply. Export markets in Europe and the Middle East offer contracts for farmers who meet quality standards. This guide by Farmers Trend provides everything you need to know about herbs farming in Kenya. You will learn about the most profitable varieties, technical production, sourcing from Farmers Trend Ltd, and accessing export markets. The information comes from successful commercial growers and horticultural experts across the country. farmerstrend.co.ke/trending/herbs…

What if market waste could power kitchens? Our T-Rex M50 biogas system in Nairobi converts 400kg of organic waste daily into clean biogas — equivalent to one LPG cylinder every day. Waste → Energy → Fertiliser. Watch how it works: youtu.be/90Sp2uqWe4Q #WasteToEnergy
