Who we are
 Bio Gardening Innovations,in short BIOGI  is a registered Kenyan Nonprofit  operating from Elnuni village in Vihiga County in Western Kenya. It advances  ecological and natural farming  principles for  food system  change  with special attention on smallholder transformation and livelihood improvement  in Kenya.
 food system transformation 
BIOGI supports  a paradigm shift from industrial agriculture to a diverse  agroecology system. This involves the transformation of a mono culture mindset into a diverse food system thinking,[IPES- FOOD.20167.From uniformity to diversity]
Out comes of  diverse systems includes the following four elements;
  • productivity outcomes ;that focus on total outputs rather than single crops
  • environmental outcomes ;reduction of green house gas emissions,water efficiency,conservation of wild biodiversity and enhancement of ecosystem services
  • socio economic outcomes -diverse food systems builds resilient livelihoods from the risks of variable yields and seasonal changes
  • Nutrition and health outcomes-diverse systems translates into dietary diversity at farm household level
Planet earth that is  increasingly threatened by its inhabitants. Like an overburdened mother ,she is getting on the edges of her limits. This ranges from  climatic  crisis to development models that disrupts value of   local food systems  and lifestyle.practices such as continued use of synthetics in food production and  engineered crops  are threats to peoples health and livelihoods in general.Smallholders such as those in Africa are most vulnerable as their 
Food culture and connections to their landscape environments are sevely disrupted and destroyed.
ecological connections
With  climatic crisis at hand and its severe negative impacts on livelihoods on developing  countries, especially in Africa; agricultural  transformation  and  food systems change  is urgently required .
A more responsive connection to culturally appropriate food that conserves  local ecology and creates wealth locally while supporting the  resilience and rights of poor communities to managing their land sustainably is needed.

Bio  Gardening Innovations BIOGI, is in pursuit  of such systems in collaboration with other like-minded  organizations locally and internationally.
