Agriculture & Food Security.
Fostering a Resilient, Nourished, and Sustainable World.
Agriculture and food security are central to our mission of empowering communities and promoting sustainable livelihoods. In response to climate change, resource degradation, and malnutrition, we support small-scale farmers with climate-smart practices, improved access to inputs, and nutrition-focused programs. These efforts strengthen resilience, enhance food systems, and ensure vulnerable populations are not left behind.
Transforming Agriculture for Food Security and Climate Resilience.
We empower smallholder farmers with climate-smart agricultural practices, improve access to quality inputs, and promote sustainable farming methods to build resilient food systems and reduce hunger.
Community-Led Nutrition & School Gardens.
Through school and community gardens, we teach children and families how to grow nutritious food. These projects build healthy habits, promote food literacy, and foster local ownership of food systems.
Why Agriculture Matters
Kenya’s smallholder farmers grow most of the country’s food but continue to face systemic challenges ranging from erratic weather and land pressure to limited access to markets and quality inputs. At PTS, we recognize that strengthening agriculture is key to ensuring long-term food and nutrition security. Our work helps farmers increase productivity, adapt to environmental shocks, and unlock economic opportunities through sustainable agricultural models.
Our Focus Areas
Climate-Resilient Farming and Eco-Friendly Inputs.
We train smallholder farmers in composting, agroforestry, and water harvesting, while improving access to drought-tolerant seeds and organic inputs supporting the shift to sustainable, climate-smart farming.
Nutrition and School-Based Agriculture.
Through school gardens and community plots, we fight malnutrition by teaching children and families how to grow nutritious food and build lifelong healthy habits.
Technology and Market Access.
We develop digital tools that link farmers to markets, reduce post-harvest losses, and boost incomes empowering women and youth in rural communities.
Our Commitments.
- Equity & Gender Inclusion: supports PTS’s values of inclusivity and equity, especially prioritizing youth and women in development programs.

Signature Initiative.
Resilient Foods Kenya 2025–2027.
This flagship project brings together farmer mentors, nutritionists, and tech partners to scale climate-resilient agriculture. It includes setting up demo farms, expanding school nutrition gardens, and rolling out a farmer-buyer digital platform to boost economic resilience and community nutrition.
