Transforming Organic Waste into Sustainable Animal Feed
Rethink Organic empowers smallholder farmers with Black Soldier Fly systems and a tech-enabled monitoring platform to reduce feed costs, optimize production, and enable scalable circular agriculture.
Why Kenya's Farmers Need a New Approach
Rising Feed Costs
Animal feed represents one of the largest expenses for smallholder farmers, constraining productivity and profitability across communities.
Organic Waste Mismanagement
Large volumes of food waste are discarded daily, contributing to environmental degradation and missed economic opportunities.
Low Adoption of Alternatives
Sustainable feed solutions remain underutilized due to a lack of structured support, technical guidance, and accessible infrastructure.
An Integrated System for Circular Agriculture
A complete, scalable system for converting organic waste into high-value animal feed — combining production infrastructure, technology-enabled monitoring, and farmer support.
Production Infrastructure
Standardized cages and starter larvae ensure reliable, replicable setup across farms of all sizes.
Monitoring & Data Layer
Sensors and smart alerts guide farmers through each production cycle for consistently optimal results.
Farmer Enablement
Hands-on training, onboarding, and continuous support reduce risk and improve outcomes at every stage.
Six Steps to Sustainable Feed
Farmer onboarding into the program
Starter kit distribution — cages and larvae
Larvae feeding and growth monitoring
App and SMS alerts throughout the cycle
Harvest and feed utilization by farmers
Data collection and cycle optimization
Built for Scalable, Data-Driven Agriculture
Our lightweight monitoring system delivers actionable insights even in low-resource settings — combining sensors, SMS alerts, and an app dashboard to guide every production cycle.
Sensor Monitoring
Temperature, humidity, and feeding cycles tracked continuously
SMS Alerts
Mobile-first accessibility — no smartphone required
App Dashboard
Real-time guidance and production recommendations
Data Analytics
Insights gathered to optimize and scale the system
Impact at a Glance
Environmental
Organic waste diverted from landfills and repurposed into productive, high-value feed — closing the loop on agricultural waste.
Economic
Reduced dependence on expensive commercial feed, directly lowering input costs and improving profit margins for smallholder farmers.
Social
Empowered farmers with accessible, sustainable systems and greater agency over their production inputs and long-term food security.
Early Results from the Field
Tested system setup and farmer onboarding in Muguga Ward, Kiambu County
Optimized organic waste substrates for maximum larvae growth efficiency
Monitored production cycles with real-time app and SMS alerts
Established 5 satellite farms with 8+ farmers in the first cohort
Gathered insights to refine a scalable, replicable model for expansion
