BLACK SOLDIER FLY FARMING
Black Soldier Fly farming in Kenya has been viewed as a game-changer for sustainability in livestock farming. By converting organic waste into high-value protein and fertilizer, BSF farming has provided multiple benefits.

Affordable livestock feed has been produced in the form of protein-rich larvae, which have been used to feed poultry, pigs, and fish.

Organic waste reduction has been achieved since food scraps, market waste, and farm residues have been converted into useful products.

Soil enrichment has been made possible through frass, the by-product of BSF farming, which has been used as organic fertilizer.

These benefits have shown that BSF farming is not just profitable but also environmentally friendly and aligned with Kenya’s agribusiness sustainability goals.

Did you know organic waste from markets, kitchens, farms, and agro-industries has been identified as the main input in BSF farming?
Instead of being left to rot or disposed of in landfills, this waste has been fed to BSF larvae.
For every kilogram of waste, up to 200 grams of high-protein larvae have been produced. This conversion efficiency has positioned BSF farming as one of the best solutions for addressing food waste challenges while creating value for farmers.

Nutrition has been identified as one of the most important factors in dairy farming. A well-fed cow produces more milk, maintains good health, and breeds more effectively.
Balanced diets should include:
Forage: Napier grass, silage, hay, or legumes.
Concentrates: Maize bran, wheat bran, cottonseed cake, or formulated dairy meal.
Minerals: Salt licks and mineral supplements to improve milk yield and fertility.
Water: Unlimited clean water supply, as cows require up to 60 liters daily for proper milk production.
The practice of feed conservation through silage and hay ensures that feed shortages during dry seasons are avoided.

Dairy farming is not simply about keeping cows; it is about managing animals to ensure consistent milk production, animal health, and profitability. Breeds, feeding systems, housing structures, and animal welfare practices must all be considered. When the right foundation is laid, the farm is placed on a sustainable path.

WHAT IS ORGANIC FARMING?
Organic farming has been defined as an agricultural system in which natural inputs are prioritized, and synthetic chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers are avoided. Emphasis has been placed on soil fertility, ecological balance, and the health of both people and the environment. Natural compost, animal manure, crop rotation, and biological pest control have been applied as key components.

Unlike conventional farming, which depends heavily on industrial inputs, organic farming has been structured to mimic natural ecosystems. As a result, crops and livestock have been nurtured in harmony with nature, while long-term sustainability has been achieved.

The future of agriculture has been strongly linked with organic methods. Rising concerns about climate change, food security, and health have been pushing farmers and policymakers toward sustainable solutions. With government support, private investment, and consumer awareness, organic farming has been positioned as a major driver of future food systems.

Organic farming has been proven to be more than just a trend—it has been established as a sustainable solution for healthier food, better incomes, and environmental preservation. While challenges such as certification and knowledge gaps have been noted, the benefits of soil health, biodiversity, and consumer trust have outweighed the obstacles. Farmers who adopt organic practices are not only improving their livelihoods but also contributing to a greener and healthier planet.

Through patience, innovation, and proper market linkages, organic farming has been identified as a viable business and lifestyle choice for the future.
