20 kWp
PV baseline for irrigation
Clean energy
Rooftop solar and battery storage power milk cooling, lighting and irrigation, cutting diesel use and keeping operations running through outages.
Sustainability
A climate-smart farm, from the sun to the soil.
Renewable energy, careful water use and a circular approach to nutrients make the farm more resilient and protect Lake Muhazi.
10 ha
Irrigated fodder
Smart water
Water is lifted from a screened intake into a lined reservoir and applied by zoned sprinklers, only where and when the fodder needs it.

Untreated manure to the lake
Manure to energy
Slurry from the barns is treated to produce biogas for the farm and compost that returns nutrients to the fields.
100%
Wetland kept protected
Restored wetland
A protected papyrus wetland filters run-off, shelters birds such as the grey crowned crane and buffers the lakeshore.
Circular by design
Nothing on the farm goes to waste.
Each system feeds the next, cutting costs, protecting the lake and keeping the soil productive.

Sun
Solar PV powers the lake pump, milk cooling and farm buildings.
Water
A screened lake intake fills the reservoir that feeds the sprinklers.
Fodder
10 ha of irrigated Napier, maize and legumes grow year-round.
Herd
Cows eat a balanced ration and produce clean, cooled milk.
Manure
Slurry is collected from the barns into the treatment reserve.
Biogas & compost
Gas for the farm, nutrient-rich compost back to the fields.
Our commitments
Measured, reported, improved.
- Meter water abstraction and irrigation use
- Track solar generation and diesel savings
- Treat all manure before use on the fields
- Keep a vegetated buffer along the lakeshore
- Plant trees and support pollinators
- Train neighbouring farmers in climate-smart dairy
Come and see a modern Rwandan dairy at work.
Book a guided farm visit, discuss a milk supply agreement, or talk to us about partnering on the 2030 plan.
