Hack the Fork Comes to Kenya: Building the Future of Food with Artificial Intelligence
We are excited to announce the Kenya Edition of Hack the Fork, a 36-hour hackathon bringing together university students and young innovators to explore how artificial intelligence can help shape the future of alternative proteins and sustainable food systems.
Taking place in November 2026 at the University of Nairobi, Hack the Fork Kenya will challenge participants to work in multidisciplinary teams, develop innovative ideas and build practical solutions to real-world challenges facing the alternative protein sector.
Ongoing Research: What Works in Kenya’s Alternative Waste Management?
Decarbonize Initiative is conducting a new research project to assess the feasibility of various alternative waste management systems in Kenya.
While approaches such as insect farming, biochar, composting, anaerobic digestion, and recycling are increasingly promoted as circular economy solutions, there is limited comparative evidence on which models are financially viable, scalable, and investment-ready under local conditions.
Through desk research and field visits with operational businesses and stakeholders, this study will analyse costs, revenues, market dynamics, and operational risks to identify what works, for whom, and at what scale. Findings will support investors, policymakers, and waste generators seeking practical, data-driven pathways for climate-smart waste management in Kenya.
Research updates and insights will be shared as the project progresses.
