GROW BIOINTENSIVE learning centers are sowing the seeds of
food security in Kenya

In Kenya, hunger and poverty are endemic: a majority of Kenyans experience chronic hunger, and farmers are often unable to afford inputs for their farms. Ecology Action and our African partner organizations (Manor House Agricultural Centre, Kilili Self-Help Project and GROW BIOINTENSIVE Agricultural Center of Kenya
(G-BIACK)) are working to provide solutions.

Ecology Action: Biointensive Farming
Growing Ecosystems of Hope for over 40 Years!

---

Ecology Action teaches people worldwide to better feed themselves
while building and preserving the soil and conserving resources.

Aware of intensifying world challenges and the basic need of people to feed themselves, we have been working for 40 years to develop an elegant, small-scale agricultural system — GROW BIOINTENSIVE® Sustainable Mini-Farming — that when practiced correctly, nurtures healthy soil fertility, produces high yields, conserves resources and can be used successfully by almost everyone. Our goal is to help this system be known and used locally...on a worldwide basis.
