Farmer Stories

Homa Bay

"When we learned about vermi liquid fertilizer, it really encouraged us farmers to grow more."

— Beatrice Kamala, Smallholder Farmer

Beatrice's Journey

For years, Beatrice depended on chemical fertilizers to produce maize. However, declining soil health and unpredictable harvests made farming increasingly difficult. She needed a practical solution that could improve productivity while protecting the long-term health of her soil.

Through Kibmist's climate-smart agriculture approach, Beatrice was introduced to vermi-liquid fertilizer produced through the conversion of organic waste using vermicomposting technology.

For Beatrice, the introduction of vermi-liquid fertilizer provided a new approach to farming and renewed confidence in maize production. Instead of allowing organic materials to become waste, Kibmist's approach transforms them into valuable agricultural inputs.
