Wambui Mbichi is the founder and host of Farm to Table Podcast KE; a platform that shines a light on innovations within Kenyan food systems as well as neighboring countries.

A native of Kenya, Wambui admits to being a picky eater while growing up. When she was 9 years old, her family purchased an home in more of the a rural part of the country that came with a sustainable amount of land. It was then that her parents began doing some light farming.

When Wambui meet other children in the area who didn’t have enough food to eat, she says this is when she began being drawn to agriculture as such a young age.
