Grow 2Gether

Grow better, prove it, and sell for more.

Grow 2Gether gives smallholder farmers, and the organisations that support them, the planning, guidance and records buyers ask for.

What changes for a farmer

Better prices for proven quality

Records of how a crop was grown open buyers who pay more.

Advice for their own farm

Guidance for their crop and their soil, at the stage it matters.

A fair record

The weight, grade and payment of every delivery, visible to the farmer.

Why Grow 2Gether

Good advice, recognised standards and fair prices rarely reach a smallholder's farm. Meanwhile, buyers want proof of where produce came from and how it was grown.

Grow 2Gether closes that gap one farm at a time. An extension worker is appointed to each farmer, the farm is mapped and its soil recorded, and every season is planned, guided and measured against what was delivered.

Where we are starting

Grow 2Gether is starting with tea farmers around Kangaita in Kirinyaga County, Kenya. We are building it step by step with farmers and extension workers, and we will share what we learn as we go.

Grow 2Gether is part of the GT-AI Network, which brings knowledge and technology to African agriculture.

Shape Grow 2Gether with us

We are inviting producer organisations in Kenya to join the pilot.
