I have worked with rural smallholder farmers in Kenya with my main focus being to reduce post harvest losses through solar powered cold rooms as well as zero energy cool chambers. Agriculture in developing nations doesn't have to be backbreaking work for the women and youth who diligently till the land. My goal through Solar Freeze is to help farmers store their produce for longer. I am passionate about African economic growth and development, poverty eradication and empowerment of the youth in all aspects of society and specifically in Agriculture. Food security is only achievable and sustainable if the production of food is profitable. In practical terms it means that food security is driven and created by profits and profits alone - there is no other way. Best Quote- Thomas Jefferson once said, “cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands.”
