Farming into the future.
Afams was founded in 2021 in Nairobi, Kenya — with a clear and urgent mission: to make urban food production accessible to every household, school, restaurant, and office, regardless of land, water, or expertise.
We watched cities grow faster than their food systems. We watched urban Kenyans — and urban people everywhere — disconnected from the food they eat. We decided to build the bridge. Not with expensive technology. Not with complexity. With a bag.
The FarmBag is that bridge. It folds flat. It ships anywhere. It grows anything. It waters itself. And it is growing into something that will one day feed people on Mars.
"I want to build a company that makes growing food as easy as charging your phone — and eventually, that feeds people on Mars. We start with a bag. We end with a movement."
