.kai.retu.
'Kairetu' is the Kikuyu word for 'little girl' or 'young girl'.
Kai.retu's vantage point is of unique interest. It comes wrapped in a deep sense of unfettered curiosity, youthful energy and the latent power of The ripe Maiden as well as The age-cured Crone. It is in her ability to be fully present that she plants seeds whose fruit she enjoys years, decades and generations in the future.

Food Sovereignty
Food sovereignty is the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems. It puts the aspirations and needs of those who produce, distribute and consume food at the heart of food systems and policies rather than the demands of markets and corporations.
Edible Forests
Also known as a food forest, or forest garden, is a type of garden plan that mimics forest growth patterns to ensure better yield, maximum light exposure, and simpler management while fostering greater biodiversity.
