Business Development and Marketing Director. | Rwathia Agrofarm
Processing and manufacturing.
Rwathia Agrofarm is a social horticultural, farming, processing and exporting company incorporated in Kenya. Our main products are fresh/frozen avocados, mango and fresh herbs. In addition, the company would offer technical support services and inputs to farmers as credit recoverable from produce supplied. Africa is home to 60% of the world’s arable land. The Company is named after Rwathia village in Murang’a County where avocados were first introduced in Kenya. Murang’a is the biggest producer of avocados in Kenya. Avocado is quickly becoming one of the main commercial crops in Kenya. The tree bearing pear-shaped fruits – originally from Central and South America – now dots many homesteads and farms in the highlands of Kenya, as the humid tropical climate in the area provides ideal growing conditions for avocados to thrive.

Senior Lecturer: Livestock Welfare | Newcastle University
The future of livestock farming, where do animal welfare and future farming systems interact.
I am an academic that has been studying the behaviour and welfare of farmed animals, the assessment of welfare and the attitudes and behaviours of farmers towards livestock. Increasingly, questions have arisen regarding how sustainable better welfare systems are and whether we can have both nature friendly farming, high welfare for our farm animals and lower environmental footprints. This is where my recent research is focused.
