Irene Etyang (Kenya) - MAMLO Food
MAMLO Foods has developed an innovative solar-powered micro-factory model that transforms raw peanuts into high-value products, addressing the critical issues of food security and energy access in rural communities.
This innovation empowers marginalised women smallholder farmers by enabling them to process their crops locally, significantly increasing their income and improving access to nutritious food.
The micro-factories leverage renewable energy, promoting sustainable practices while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. By localising food processing, we are creating economic engines within rural areas, fostering community resilience, strengthening food security, and ensuring that profits remain within the local economy.
