SUCSA — Climate-Smart Agriculture in Kenya
Sustainable Climate-Smart Agriculture and Climate Change Initiatives
SUCSA works with smallholder farmers, women, youth and schools to eradicate poverty and drive transformative change — through capacity building, climate-smart farmer services, and policy advocacy.
Empower.
Knowledge, skills and resources placed in community hands.
Adapt.
Climate-smart practice that fits local soil, season and market.
Thrive.
Livelihoods that hold through drought, flood and price shocks.
Who we are
An impact-driven organisation rooted in the field and fluent in the data.
SUCSA is a forward-looking, impact-driven public benefit organisation committed to empowering communities through climate resilience and poverty eradication. Founded by a diverse team of professionals, we integrate grassroots experience with data-driven solutions, policy advocacy and inclusive community engagement.
Our vision
To establish climate-resilient systems that empower communities and enable sustainable development.
Our mission
To eradicate poverty and drive transformative change through capacity building, farmer support services, and policy advocacy on climate change.
Core objectives
Three lines of work, one outcome
Everything we run reinforces a community's ability to produce, earn, adapt and thrive.
02
Inclusive, climate-smart farmer services
We provide smallholder farmers with tailored inputs, agronomic advisories, market-linkage support, and technology tools that raise productivity, reduce environmental impact, and ensure equitable access for all.
03
Research, advocacy and policy development
We generate evidence-based insights, convene stakeholders in policy dialogues, and craft strategic policy briefs that strengthen legal frameworks and mainstream climate adaptation across government and civil society.
The problem we address
Climate change, and everything it drags with it
Our work confronts the overarching challenge of climate change, along with four interconnected issues we hear about in every community meeting.
Knowledge and skills gaps
Communities lack practical, localised guidance on climate adaptation and climate-smart agriculture.
Food and livelihood insecurity
Erratic seasons erode harvests and household income, deepening poverty in rural households.
Low productivity, limited markets
Smallholders produce below potential and struggle to reach buyers at fair, reliable prices.
Inadequate policy frameworks
Adaptation is weakly mainstreamed in county and national policy, with few evidence-based briefs to draw on.
Programmes
What this looks like on the ground
From school compounds to county policy tables.
Climate-smart schools and 4K clubs
Fruit trees, keyhole and tower gardens, and 4K club mentorship turn school compounds into living classrooms for climate-smart agriculture.
Farmer support services
Practical agronomy for smallholders — soil testing, quality inputs, nurseries and market linkage so households nourish themselves first, then trade.
Capacity building and entrepreneurship
Training modules and a structured curriculum that hand-hold enthusiastic entrepreneurs from vulnerable groups into viable, climate-resilient enterprises.
Research, advocacy and partnerships
We are the trusted voice of the voiceless — evidence from the field carried into county and national policy dialogue, and into public-private partnerships.

We work with everyone who touches the food system.
- Farming communities
- County & national government
- Civil society organisations
