Center of Excellence

Nested in a 20-acre farm in Makueni County, Iviani Farm provides the ideal setup for hands-on farmer training and serves as a demonstration site for climate-smart technologies.

The combination of farmer training and climate-smart technology demonstrations positions Iviani Farm as a leader in promoting sustainable agriculture:


Hands-on Farmer training

Through targeted training sessions, the farm provides hands-on education in sustainable farming techniques, effective business management, and industry best practices to empower smallholder farmers. Participants learn modern farming techniques, soil management, and crop diversification strategies designed to improve productivity and sustainability.


By offering real-world examples and direct engagement with farming activities, Iviani Farm ensures that trainees leave equipped with actionable skills they can apply immediately to their own operations. This focus helps farmers enhance the quality and quantity of their produce, leading to increased yields and greater overall sustainability in their farming practices.


Demonstration site for climate-smart technologies

Iviani Farm showcases innovative climate-smart technologies, helping farmers mitigate the challenges posed by climate change. We work with partners to conduct research and development, test, showcase, and encourage the widescale adoption of solutions that enable farmers to adapt to climate change, conserve resources, and enhance resilience in their agricultural practices.


Farmers can observe and engage with techniques such as water-efficient irrigation systems, drought-resistant crop varieties, and regenerative agricultural practices that protect the environment while boosting yields. This hands-on approach not only facilitates understanding but also increases the likelihood of widespread implementation of these technologies, leading to long-term agricultural success.


By bridging the gap between theory and practice, the farm enables smallholder farmers to adapt to changing climatic conditions, reduce resource wastage, and enhance their overall productivity.

This dual focus not only improves the livelihoods of individual farmers but also contributes to the broader goal of building resilient agricultural systems capable of supporting local communities and improving food security. Through these initiatives, Iviani Farm fosters a sustainable future for both farmers and the agricultural sector at large.
