Activities
  • Farmer Education & Capacity Building: We organize hands-on training workshops and field demonstrations to educate farmers on the benefits of sustainable fertilizers and regenerative agricultural practices.
  • Stakeholder Collaboration: We actively collaborate with local agricultural cooperatives, environmental organizations, and youth innovators to scale eco-friendly solutions and drive the adoption of green agriculture across Tanzania.
  • Research & Product Development: We invest in continuous research to enhance the efficiency of our fertilizers, develop new soil-enriching products, and assess both the environmental and economic impacts of our interventions.
  • Awareness Campaigns: Through targeted outreach and advocacy, we promote the importance of sustainable farming and highlight the environmental risks associated with conventional chemical fertilizers.
  • Monitoring & Evaluation: We track and analyze data on crop productivity, soil health, and ecological outcomes to evaluate the effectiveness of our products and guide future improvements.
Impact By transforming eggshell waste into affordable, locally produced organic fertilizers, ShellGro reduces dependence on chemical inputs that degrade soil and contaminate water sources. Our solutions enhance soil fertility, boost biodiversity, and combat land degradation.
Farmers using ShellGro products report increased crop yields and reduced input costs, directly contributing to improved food security and economic empowerment. Our training programs equip farmers with the knowledge to adopt sustainable practices, fostering a culture of collaboration and resilience in agriculture.
