About SheFarms

Building the Future of Sustainable Agriculture

We're pioneering circular feed systems that transform agricultural challenges into economic opportunities—one byproduct, one farmer, one regenerated ecosystem at a time.

Our Story

From Question to Solution

SheFarms BV was founded on a critical observation: African farmers faced two simultaneous crises—mountains of agricultural waste polluting their environment and skyrocketing livestock feed costs threatening their livelihoods.

The question was simple but powerful: What if the solution to one problem could solve the other?

Through rigorous research partnerships with leading agricultural institutions like KNUST, FUNAAB and extensive field trials with farming cooperatives, we developed Waste2Feed™—a proprietary bioprocessing technology that transforms agricultural byproducts into premium livestock nutrition.

Today, SheFarms operates at the intersection of environmental sustainability and economic empowerment, proving that circular agriculture isn't just possible—it's profitable.

Our Journey

Key Milestones

Foundation

The Beginning

SheFarms BV founded with a vision to revolutionize livestock feed production by addressing agricultural waste management and rising feed costs simultaneously.

Research Phase

Partnership with KNUST

Established research collaboration with Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology to develop and validate Waste2Feed™ bioprocessing technology.

Validation

Ongoing Animal Trials

Conducting ongoing animal trials with farming cooperatives, demonstrating improved health outcomes and significant cost savings for participating farmers.

Recognition

Strategic Partnerships

Secured partnerships with KNUST, FUNAAB, Yellow Fish Farm, Ubuntu Farms, and Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO) to validate technology and scale impact across West Africa.

Present

Scaling Impact

Preparing for commercial launch with proven technology, validated business model, and growing network of 200+ partner farmers across West Africa.

Our Purpose

Mission & Vision

Mission

To pioneer circular agriculture systems that transform agricultural byproducts into economic opportunity and environmental regeneration across Africa and beyond—improving farmer livelihoods, reducing environmental impact, and building resilient food systems through science-backed innovation.

Vision

A world where every farm operates in natural cycles—where waste doesn't exist, farmers prosper, livestock thrive, and agriculture regenerates the planet. We envision circular systems as the foundation of global food security and environmental sustainability.

Our Values

What Drives Us

🔄

Circularity

Every output becomes an input. We design systems where waste doesn't exist—only resources in continuous, regenerative cycles. Nothing is discarded; everything has value waiting to be unlocked.

🔬

Scientific Rigor

Research-driven solutions with measurable impact. We validate everything through rigorous testing, academic collaboration, and on-farm trials. Our claims are backed by data, not aspirations.

👥

Farmer Empowerment

Farmers first, always. Especially women. We build solutions with communities, not for them. Their knowledge informs our innovation; their success defines our impact.

🤝

Integrity

Transparent partnerships, honest communication, and commitment to long-term impact over short-term gains. We say what we do and do what we say—no greenwashing, no false promises.

🌱

Regeneration

We don't just sustain—we regenerate. Our systems restore soil health, rebuild ecosystems, and revitalize rural economies. Leaving things better than we found them is our baseline.

⚡

Bold Innovation

We challenge conventional thinking. From commercializing underutilized byproducts to reimagining waste streams, we pursue breakthrough solutions that others overlook or dismiss as impossible.

📊

Impact Accountability

We measure what matters: farmer income, waste diverted, emissions reduced, ecosystems restored. Our success is quantifiable, our failures are lessons, and both are shared transparently.

🌍

Contextual Solutions

One size doesn't fit all. We develop locally-adapted systems using regionally-available resources. Our technology is global; our application is deeply local.
