Why Organic Farming Rocks
Hey, green champs! Our Organic Farming program is all about empowering Lamu’s youth to grow food sustainably. We’re training young farmers to use eco-friendly techniques that boost food security and protect our environment. It’s not just about planting seeds—it’s about sowing a future where Lamu thrives with fresh, healthy produce. Ready to dig into this awesome vibe?

Making a Real Difference
Our Organic Farming program is a game-changer. Last year, we trained over 200 youth in sustainable agriculture, helping them grow crops like tomatoes, kale, and mangoes without harmful chemicals. Meet Aisha, a local youth who joined our program and turned a small plot into a thriving organic garden. Her farm now supplies fresh produce to her community, proving that youth can lead the way to food security!

Sustainable Farming Practices
We’re teaching youth how to farm smarter, not harder. Our workshops cover eco-friendly techniques that keep the soil healthy and crops bountiful. Here’s what we’re growing:
- Composting: Turn food scraps into nutrient-rich soil.
- Crop Rotation: Keep the land fertile by mixing up crops.
- Organic Pest Control: Use natural methods to protect plants.
These practices are building a sustainable future for Lamu’s agriculture!
