Who We Are - Nara Kenya
Our Landscape
Drylands make up so much of our planet, but are overlooked when it comes to restoration, carbon projects, and agri-business development. Why? Because it's harder.
Droughts, invasive brush, and a lack of infrastructure are constant challenges.
Our model combines our years of experience in dryland agro-forestry and carbon project development wherein we turn degraded drylands into thriving ecosystems that produce massive amounts of commercial crops and carbon credits per hectare, often greater than rain-fed regions in Kenya's highland breadbasket.
By combining smart agriculture with carbon revenues from biochar and agro-forestry, we are able to make a compelling financial case for farming in the desert. Key to this success is the vertical integration of the supply chain through strategic partnerships with villages all the way to regional agri-markets and global carbon markets.
Our supporters
Since 2023 we have secured strategic partnerships with the Turkana County Government and its Ministry of Agriculture, as well as a partnership with the UN's Food & Agriculture Organisation.
Other partners include KEFRI, Ministry of Environment, LOKADO, and Nemlon Enterprise & Silo AgroVet.
Our Partners
We partner with villages across Northern Kenya through our 100-acre Village Model. One village - 100 acres - one partnership. This improves transparency, reduces complexity and conflict, and helps us scale organically. NARA never owns land, it is always owned and governed by the community who work it. Our partnership with these communities is always governed by a fair revenue-share agreement in which we work together to restore land and build supply-chains.
