Nature Lock Foods

NatureLock Foods is an innovative Kenyan agro-processing company transforming the instant food market in Africa with natural, high-protein convenience meals that are precooked and dried. Our flagship product, StewsDay Ndengu (Greengrams), offers a nutritious alternative to traditional instant foods, with lentil and vegetable stews that rehydrate into a ready meal in minutes. This affordable solution empowers consumers while reducing food loss across the continent. At the heart of our mission is the commitment to improving farmer incomes and fostering sustainable livelihoods, particularly among women farmers and women leadership in agribusiness. By reducing post-harvest losses and driving innovation in African food systems, we are helping to build an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy in sub-Saharan Africa. As we continue to scale, our goal is clear: to offer nutritious, cost-effective meals that save consumers time and money while shaping the future of Africa’s food security. With each step forward, we’re ensuring a more balanced and sustainable food system, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At NatureLock, we believe the future of African food systems depends on bold innovation, inclusivity, and empowering local communities. The question is: How far can we go to transform the way Africa eats – and how soon can we get there?
