The gap
Agriculture in Africa has an image problem, not a potential problem.

young Kenyans enter the job market yearly, with limited formal employment opportunities.
At Kilimore4cus, we are addressing the pressing issue of youth unemployment and the aging farmer population in Kenya. With over 800,000 youth entering the job market annually and limited formal employment opportunities, agriculture presents a largely untapped avenue for sustainable livelihoods.
Yet the average age of a Kenyan farmer is approximately 60 years old, signaling a generational gap and the urgent need to engage younger people in the sector. Youth under 35 form over 75% of Kenya's population, and many are exploring agriculture as a viable livelihood — but very few can see themselves in it.
Three things stand in the way: quality, certified inputs; trusted technical advice; and practical pathways for young people starting out in agriculture. Kilimore4cus exists to close those three gaps.
