Kenyan Agtech Startup Farm to Feed Tackles Market Access for Small-Scale Farmers
Farm to Feed, a Kenyan agtech startup, is tackling market access issues faced by small-scale farmers. Co-founded in 2021 by CEO Claire Van Enk, the company aims to empower these farmers economically while promoting sustainable agriculture and climate action.
In Kenya, small-scale farmers produce 75% of the country's agricultural output but struggle with market access. Farm to Feed is addressing this challenge by aggregating and selling their produce through multiple channels. The startup also collects imperfect crops, reducing food waste.
Farm to Feed is building a data platform to improve farming outcomes and create a more circular food system. It is exploring new revenue streams through value addition and plans to tap into the carbon market. The company has raised $1 million in funding from various venture capitalists, angel investors, and institutions.
Farm to Feed is making strides in Kenya's agtech sector, joining other innovators like Farmerline and Complete Farmer in addressing market access challenges for small-scale farmers. By empowering these farmers and promoting sustainable practices, the startup is contributing to food security and climate action.
