Sustainability
At Nutri Nuts, we are committed to achieving sustainability by implementing eco-friendly practices across our operations. Engaging in climate change forums and discussions both locally and internationally allows us to stay informed, share insights and continuously improving our efforts.
We have been running a program of distributing free/subsidized grafted macadamia seedlings to farmers and schools, especially in the Mt. Kenya region. By planting more fruit trees, we create a positive impact on the climate while at the same time providing income to the farmers and schools.
We have set up an 8 acre model farm in Tigania west sub county in Meru. The farm was set up in 2018 and currently has mature Macadamia nut trees. This farm is used as a training center by farmers in the region.
We have set up a macadamia tree seedlings nursery at our processing facility in Meru. Quality grafted macadamia seedlings are produced at the nursery and distributed to farmers in the region and or sold at subsidized prices to the farmers. The grafted seedlings are early maturing, high yielding and drought resistant.
We have taken huge steps to empower youth and women in the area surrounding the factory with 60% of our employees being women, and women and youth making up 95% of our entire team.
