Empowering Smallholder Farmers for a Sustainable Future

At Wedgehut, we are dedicated to transforming the potato value chain and empowering over 5,000 smallholder farmers across Kenya. Through our farmer programs, we provide direct market access, eliminating exploitative brokers and ensuring farmers receive fair value for their hard work. Our commitment extends beyond market access—we are building a resilient agricultural sector that uplifts communities and promotes sustainable farming.

Driving Impact Through Farmer Programs

Our farmer programs are the backbone of our impact. We engage directly with smallholder farmers, offering training on Good Agricultural Practices, financial literacy, and optimal farming schedules to make the most of limited rainfall. By educating farmers on new potato varieties and sustainable techniques, we enable them to increase yields, improve quality, and secure their livelihoods. We also actively participate in forums and collaborate with policy formulators to enhance data management within the potato value chain, fostering an environment where small-scale farmers can thrive.

Promoting Sustainability and Climate Resilience

Wedgehut’s initiatives are deeply aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We are committed to sustainability, addressing climate change, and promoting a circular economy by educating farmers and the broader community on the importance of tree planting and environmental stewardship. Our focus on climate-smart agriculture equips farmers with the skills to adapt to changing weather patterns, ensuring their farms remain productive and sustainable for future generations.

Championing Women, Eradicating Hunger, and Building a Circular Economy

We place a strong emphasis on empowering women in agriculture, recognizing their critical role in eradicating hunger and driving economic growth. By integrating women into the potato value chain and equipping them with the knowledge and resources needed to succeed, we are fostering gender equality and creating lasting social impact. Our work supports the eradication of hunger by improving food security through sustainable farming practices and direct access to reliable markets.

Creating a Better Future Through Circular Economy Principles

Our commitment to the circular economy means that every aspect of our operations is designed to minimize waste and promote resource efficiency. We work tirelessly to create systems that benefit farmers, consumers, and the environment, reinforcing our belief that sustainable agriculture is the cornerstone of economic resilience.
