Kenya’s Farm to Feed Raises USD 1.5 M Seed To Scale Climate-Resilient Food Systems

Kenya’s Farm to Feed has raised USD 1.5 M in seed funding, comprising USD 1.27 M in equity and USD 230 K in non-dilutive funding from DEG’s develoPPP Ventures, to expand its mission of building a climate-resilient, equitable food system across Africa.

The round, led by Delta40 Venture Studio with backing from DRK Foundation, Catalyst Fund, Marula Square, Holocene, Levare Ventures, Mercy Corps Ventures, and others, will fuel Farm to Feed’s expansion beyond Kenya and strengthen its digital and value-addition platforms.

Founded in 2021 by Claire Van Enk, Anouk Boertien, and Zara Benosa, Farm to Feed aggregates both “perfect” and “imperfect” produce directly from smallholder farmers to reduce waste and boost incomes.

The agtech startup, which had previously secured funding from Renew Capital and CityBlue Hotels, claims to have onboarded 6,500 farmers, sold 2.1 million kg of produce, and cut 247 tons of CO₂e emissions, proving that tackling food loss can be both profitable and climate-positive.
