Promoting Conservation Agriculture
Buckner Kenya is committed to empowering communities through sustainable agriculture, especially among small-scale farmers who form the backbone of the regions we serve. In partnership with Foundations for Farming in Zimbabwe, we are promoting Conservation Agriculture (CA); a proven approach that increases crop yields while preserving soil health, reducing costs, and conserving water. Beyond farming techniques, we equip families with skills in composting, natural pesticide preparation, and establishing kitchen gardens for better nutrition. We also support beekeeping initiatives by training families and providing modern hives to boost household incomes. Through these efforts, Buckner Kenya is strengthening families to care for their children by enhancing food security and sustainable livelihoods.
CA is centered on three key principles:
Permanent soil cover using mulch or crop residues to prevent erosion and suppress weeds.
Diverse crop rotation and intercropping to disrupt pest cycles and maintain soil fertility.
Minimal soil disturbance through no-till or low-till planting.
