At Ambokili Farm, waste is not discarded—it’s transformed. Our commitment to waste minimization is rooted in the philosophy of circular farming, where every by-product becomes an opportunity for growth. By integrating innovative techniques and natural waste managers like geese, pigs, black soldier flies, and red earthworms, we ensure that nothing goes to waste while enhancing productivity and environmental health.
