The Future is now Here 🌱
Living in the city comes with many challenges among them being access to affordable, clean, fresh and sustainable vegetables for an individual or their families. But that does not have to be the case, at least for Nairobi, residents thanks to a company, Ukulima Tech that seeks to address this challenge by enabling a willing client to transform their backyards, verandahs, and balconies into farming space. With the revolution of agriculture in Kenya and across the globe, this farming method comes in at the right time to cater to the needs of the urban dwellers who not only worry about availability but also the high chemical residue on vegetables in the urban markets. Ukulima (Swahili name translated to mean ‘Farming’) Tech, was established in 2015 at the time in Kisumu city, some 347 kilometers from Nairobi. But the team later realized many of their clients were from Nairobi. Hence, they relocated to the capital where they have set a demonstration garage for their clients. In an interview with The African Exponent, Elizabeth Achieng one of the partners said that the company focuses on designing, fabricating, installation and maintenance of a variety of gardens at their client requests and needs. Sheila Etam, the communications officer for the company noted that the upcoming start-up installs vertical farming systems, kitchen gardens, as well as garden automation for different clients. Clients can choose from two options: an automated system or manual system for drip irrigation. For the automated system, Ukilima tech has designed so that it allows the client to irrigate the crops miles away from home. As for the standard system, a client has to turn manually on and off the water tank placed on a higher level and aided by gravity to flow through the drip pipes to crops.
