Formal organic agriculture (OA) in Kenya dates back to the early 1980s when the first pioneer organic training institutions were established. Major pioneers being driven by the belief that OA system is the best in solving the rural and smallholder problems of food insecurity & soil degradation. The organic sub-sector is relatively small but fast growing especially in fruit and vegetable export components. Initial efforts to promote organic agriculture in Kenya were made by rural development non-governmental organizations (NGOs), faith-based organizations, individuals and community-based organizations (CBOs), who sought to help rural farmers address the issues of declining agricultural productivity (especially the degradation of soils and the natural resource base), high poverty levels, food insecurity and low incomes, which prevented farmers accessing high cost inputs. By 2011 the subsector had grown to 151,371 hectares of certified organic land. Demand is high and largely going unmet. There are companies now listed as producing organic products for local and international markets, large supermarket outlets and restaurants are selling organic products and food. The starting point in every marketing initiative is production. Hence this policy brief which is focused on the fostering policies that favour increased production in OA which do not degrade the environment.
