Safi Organics

safiorganics.co.ke

We use technology, validated and tested at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), that utilizes torrefaction, whereby agricultural waste is treated under moderate heat in an air-controlled environment in order to rapidly break down the long cellulosic chains. The resultant carbon-rich substrate is then mixed with a special nutrient recipe (dependent on the soil and crop requirements) into a standalone fertilizer, Safi Sarvi. We eliminate the long-distance fertilizer transportation, and we also drastically reduce the fertilizer cost while offering farmers a much higher-quality product. Our product, Safi Sarvi, is a locally produced carbon-negative fertilizer that helps smallholder farmers improve yields by up to 30%. Farmers who use our product earn between 20-30% additional income from the increased harvest. In addition, our carbon-rich substrate stays inert in the soil for hundreds of years – and therefore for every acre of land that uses our product, we are effectively sequestering 2.2.
