Caryle Enterprises is a circular waste-to-value initiative driven by a mission to promote sustainable organic farming. The enterprise’s Urban Organic Farming initiative promotes healthy living while tackling the pressing issues of climate change related to destructive practices such as burning agricultural leftovers and food waste.
Caryle Enterprises participated in the Circular Economy Catalyst (CEC) Starter Programme and earned a grant in recognition of their exceptional progress and active engagement throughout the programme. Their commitment to sustainable practices and innovative solutions sets them apart as a dynamic and innovative enterprise.
Applying Circular Economy Approach in Organic Farming
Caryle Enterprises came up with a simple yet effective solution to reconcile the issues that climate change poses and the need for promotion of a healthy lifestyle. By advocating for organic farming and repurposing agricultural remnants into eco-friendly fertiliser, they have effectively reduced carbon footprints, improved soil health, and enhanced the resilience of natural ecosystems. The enterprise offers a diverse range of organic fertilisers tailored to specific agricultural needs, with a focus on maximising the growth and health of African Green Leafy Vegetables (ALVs) and various nutrient-rich fruit and medicinal tree seedlings.
Furthermore, Caryle Enterprises extends its impact through capacity-building training in organic farming, agroforestry, agribusiness, and waste management. This educational initiative aims to spread awareness and deepen the knowledge of sustainable agricultural practices among the population of Kenya.
These initiatives and the circular approach at the heart Caryle Enterprises’ endeavours demonstrates their unwavering commitment to a greener, more sustainable future, which is one of the main reasons why they were selected for the CEC Starter Grant of 1000 EUR.
