Biodynamic agriculture under the conditions of smallholder agroforestry systems: An interview with Ueli Hurter.

Between farm inspections and documentation: How is compliance with various certification requirements monitored within a network of more than 9,000 smallholder farmers? This is exactly what the ongoing audits in Kenya are currently focused on.

LIMBUA has been working with Rapunzel Naturkost since 2018 and has been an official HAND IN HAND partner since 2020. At this year’s supplier days in Legau, more than 140 suppliers from Europe, Africa, Central and South America as well as Asia came together.

Two events, two different formats – and one central question: what really matters to people on the ground when it comes to organic farming and practical agricultural solutions? In Embu, LIMBUA once again engaged directly with smallholder farmers and other visitors.

At the start of every mango season, LIMBUA conducts an internal training program. This training is an integral part of our way of working and a key instrument to support quality assurance and product safety throughout the entire supply chain. It takes place before purchasing activities begin and forms part of the concrete preparation for the upcoming season.

Each year, we define an internal guiding principle that provides orientation and sharpens our shared focus. For 2026, this motto is “Focus on the Horizon.” It describes an attitude that has shaped LIMBUA for many years and is now being consciously brought to the forefront in an increasingly complex environment.

With more than 80 employees, the LIMBUA Field Team is a core pillar of our work around Mount Kenya.

In conversation with author Manuel Maurer: His perspective on LIMBUA and the connection between digitalization and traceability within agricultural supply chains.
