Regen Organics and Fresh Life, founding partners of The Sanergy Collaborative are among key companies in Kenya participating in discussions and sideline events focusing on food and agriculture in Kenya and climate-positive sanitation at the New York Climate Week.
With the world facing escalating climate challenges and the imperative to transform food and sanitation systems, Regen Organics and Fresh Life are in their own capacities collaborating with governments and other key sector players to pioneer and champion solutions that align agriculture and sanitation with climate-positive outcomes.
H.E President Dr. William Ruto, while speaking at the World Economic Forum’s Sustainable Development Impact Meetings 2023 in New York, “The government is ready to explore ways to attract private sector investment as the potential impact is immense.” Speaking into Africa’s Agricultural Growth President Ruto noted that public private partnerships will be key to unlocking this potential “Sanergy, converts organic waste into agricultural inputs such as fertilizer, animal feed and biofuel, and is set to expand production to benefit 10,000 farmers and create 300 new direct jobs.”
Regen Organics is inspiring a regenerative agriculture revolution in Kenya by harnessing the power of the circular economy. Operating East Africa’s largest organics recycling plant, as well as the largest organic waste management collection system in Kenya, Regen Organics handles 60,000T of waste per year, collected in cities and their environs and converts it into organic fertilizer and insect-based protein for animal feed. Its Evergrow Organic Fertilizer currently serves over 10,000 farmers, improving soil fertility and increasing yields by 30%.
Regen Organics announced a partnership with Equity Group at the Africa Climate Week 2023 to support growth of regenerative agriculture and push towards food security in Kenya. The partnership targets to impact 50,000 farmers by 2027, by selling 10,000T of Evergrow fertilizer annually to small scale farmers through a network of 5,000 sellers. This is in addition to offering joint training and capacity building for farmers as they transition to climate-smart agricultural practices.
Fresh Life provides safe sanitation to 250,000 residents daily in Nairobi, Kisumu, Eldoret in Kenya, and recently Lusaka in Zambia while diverting 20,000T of waste and 10,000T of GHG emissions every year. The Sanergy Collaborative is committed to driving innovative solutions and approaches to create a more sustainable and resilient future.
