Irri Hub, Nairobi Kenya
This venture was started in 2017 by XXX. They have created an off-the-grid irrigation system that incorporates a solar-powered water pump, which feeds an elevated storage tank.
The water is then distributed to crops. After breakfast, we visited a small farm operation within the city limits of Nairobi that was fully operational. The system allows for the addition of fertilizer if necessary. Additionally, Irii Hub provides a soil monitor that measures the soil’s chemical balance and moisture—also off-grid and connectable via a phone app. It was exciting to see and understand. On one hand, it’s simple, but on the other, it’s something that can have a significant impact on farmers across East Africa.
