At Igati Creative & Innovators NGO, research is at the heart of everything we do. Our blog serves as a knowledge hub where students, farmers, researchers, and innovators can access practical insights that drive real transformation. Through the Igati Social-Economic Innovation Lab in partnership with Meru University of Science & Technology, we co-create solutions to some of Kenya’s most pressing challenges: poverty, unemployment, food insecurity, and environmental sustainability.

We publish stories and reflections that demonstrate how research translates into action. For example, studies on cassava, sorghum, and sunflower value chains are informing better post-harvest practices, food processing, and branding strategies for cooperatives like Kirimaara Cereal & Grain Aggregators Cooperative Ltd. Similarly, research on nematode management and smart agriculture is equipping farmers with science-based solutions to increase productivity while protecting the environment.

Our blog also highlights digital innovations, including the Kimeru Digital Agriculture App, which preserves indigenous knowledge while connecting communities to modern technology. By sharing these findings, we empower farmers, students, policymakers, and partners with practical knowledge that fuels growth.

At Igati, we believe that Research with Purpose is not just about knowledge creation but about producing wisdom that communities can apply to Innovate, Commercialize, and Impact for generations.
