Food & Nutrition Security
At the Laikipia Permaculture Centre Trust (LPCT), we are dedicated to empowering local communities in the Arid and Semi Arid Lands (ASAL) areas through permaculture and kitchen gardening initiatives, ensuring a continuous source of nutritious produce. In a region facing significant food and nutrition challenges due to unpredictable weather patterns and economic constraints, permaculture offers a sustainable solution.
LPCT promotes permaculture principles through comprehensive education and training on soil health, water conservation, and biodiversity. We encourage households to establish kitchen gardens, providing access to fresh produce year-round. Our farm and food forest serve as living demonstrations of successful permaculture practices, inspiring community members to adopt resilient and self-sustaining agricultural systems. Through ongoing support and resources, including seeds and tools, LPCT empowers local farmers to enhance food security, diversify livelihoods, and build sustainable futures.
