- Growing coffee in a forest where it gets lots of shade makes for the best coffee in the world. Shade-grown coffee requires no external inputs, tastes fantastic, and contributes to a healthy ecosystem. One of Kenya's leading permaculture practitioners, Caleb Omolo, has been experimenting with shade-grown coffee for the past ten years. He shares how and what works in this video!

I am impressed, clearly we need to adapt a more eco friendly system of farming all round. Thank you for this service to human and nature Mr. Caleb
Thank you so much for your kind comment. Caleb indeed is a pioneering farmer and he'd appreciate your support for sure. Stay tuned as more videos about his inspiring food forest and work with different communities are coming up!
Underrated video
I am watching from Machakos County Kenya and wondering how l can get my one acre farm develop into such a beautiful permaculture homestead! Great job!
Couple of ideas...get in touch with people like Caleb or others I've featured on the channel...do a permaculture course...visit food forests and learn all about them...just get started planting trees and taking care of them...everything else can come later!
this is a great insight on an important crop, thank you
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing.
Really impressive,
Very intelligent man. It gives me lots of ideas
This is an incredible video. Would you allow reposting the video on our channel?
Proud to be a kenya
Great country :)
Where is the farm located would like to visit
Seriously, how and where can i learn about this? I want the knowledge he has!
My parents still farm like this organic africa must refuse hybrids seeds and chemicals fertilizers
Science makes everything better
👍👍
Caleb, a real permaculturist, walking the talk. Cheers!
Thanks so much!
This man is a national treasure. The govt needs to hire him and go around the country starting with dry areas that receive heavy rains twice or once a year and teach them food forests. Wow am sure this food forest type of farming applies to many other fruit trees or all fruit trees. Why is this not been done in Kenya on commercial farms.
Thank you for your kind and encouraging comment. I'd love for the govt to hire people like Caleb to spearhead a new revolution in farming. It'd be so awesome and transformative. Food security and income generation and environmental stewardship can all be achieved on small parcels of land. Why it's not being done commercially? People often need income short-term and money is generally super tight. So it's rare for people to have the foresight to plant a food forest (which admittedly takes some years to fully mature and be productive).
In Ethiopia, in the south and the south west where coffee grows, it has been a thousand years tradition to grow coffee in a shade. It was in 19th century that colonizers started growing coffee in a different way.
Exactly. As Caleb describes and demonstrates so beautifully, shade-grown coffee is really far superior in ecological value it provides (as well as taste).
Kaffee l drink twice a day! Need to find eco friendly environment for sustainability.
Do the coffee farmers know this. Wow. Imagine the coffee farmers with hundreds of acres in Kenya growing coffee in a forestry like climate. They would get money not only from coffee but avacado, bananas , beans, pumpkin on top of that save costs on use of chemicals, and growing quality coffee and real organic coffee. Then package their coffee as forest coffee to fetch premium prices. This information needs to be passed on to the coffee board and coffee farmers in Kenya.
This brother should add vanilla bean in to his food forest... he got plenty of tree n vanilla is a high value crop.
real permaculture in practice.
Couldn't agree more. Cheers!
Mr. Omolo mimi hapa Mombasa naomba unisaidia na mashauri ya shamba langu tafadhali
I like this guy
WOW! Mr. Caleb is a hub of knowledge. I would like to learn more from him.
Mr. Caleb we need more videos please!
This man is a wealth of knowledge Does he teach classes
Caleb definitely knows his stuff! He sometimes can be found teaching on permaculture courses, you should definitely try to get in touch with him!
@@GrowingSmall please tell me how! I really want to learn
