Sustainability frameworks built in the Global North rarely survive contact with a Nairobi matatu stage, a half-acre coffee farm, or an MSME just trying to keep the lights on. So what happens when you try to make "sustainable" actually work for African businesses?On this episode, Ella sits down with Luke Hayman, Founder and Executive Director of Sustainable Africa (formerly Sustainable Kenya) - a Nairobi-based platform building sustainability data infrastructure that translates global frameworks into tools that actually fit African business realities. Luke works at the intersection of sustainability, technology, and green finance, helping businesses and institutions respond to rising regulatory and market pressure without losing the local context.We get into why 600+ global sustainability frameworks miss the point in informal economies, how AI is quietly powering everything from coffee traceability to Swahili-language assessments, what "ESG theatre" really looks like, and why margins - not motivation - are the real barrier for businesses trying to do the right thing.🎧 In this episode:- Why Western sustainability frameworks don't translate to African MSMEs- The Nairobi Coffee Exchange & untangling a siloed value chain- Using AI for document verification, voice notes & Swahili assessments- Spotting "ESG theatre" as an everyday consumer- Inside the Sustainable Africa (previously, Sustainable Kenya) business directory - what it takes to get listed- Why sustainability needs to sit inside every job, not just a "sustainability officer"- Building green career pathways for Kenya's youthDuring the recording of this ep, they were Sustainable Kenya. Now, they are Sustainable Africa, which speaks to the immense growth, and trajectory of their impact, not only in Kenya, but all over Africa!

In this episode, I'm joined by Elizabeth Mwashuma - a technology and innovation leader with 15+ years of experience building digital solutions across Africa. She's the founder and CEO of Good Partners, the company behind AgriScan AI, an AI-powered platform helping smallholder farmers diagnose crop diseases, monitor farm performance, track carbon emissions, and connect to markets.Oh, and she's currently doing a Master's in Data Science/AI AND a PhD in Information Systems. At the same time. No, we don't know how either.PS - She already holds a Bachelor of Science in Computer Studies, a Master of Science in Applied Computing.We talk about:🌱 The personal story that led to building AgriScan AI📱 Busting the myth that rural farmers don't have smartphones🤖 Why they avoided even saying the word "AI" to farmers at first🌍 Carbon tracking, climate intelligence, and awareness-building💰 Pricing, commercialization, and who's missing from the partner table🔐 Where the ethical line is when it comes to AI and farmer data🏙️ Urban congestion and the systemic barrier she's passing to our next guest

What if the solution to plastic pollution was literally floating on a lake near you? 🌿We sat down with Joseph Nguthiru - UN Young Champion of the Earth, Obama Leader, 40 Under 40 Africa, and founder of HyaPak - a Kenyan startup turning one of the world's most invasive aquatic weeds into biodegradable packaging that feels, looks and performs like plastic. But that's just the beginning.From a failed DJ dream to winning global climate awards, Joe's story is one of purpose, grit, and seeing opportunities where others see problems. We get into the science behind HyaPak, the communities whose livelihoods are being transformed at Lake Naivasha, greenwashing, and how AI is being used to snitch on illegal loggers in Kenyan forests. 👀🌳This one is equal parts inspiring, educational and genuinely fun. Whether you care about the planet, about African innovation, or you're a young person figuring out where to start, this episode is for you.Here's how 5hrs trapped in a weed Changed Kenya's climate future!Connect with Joe here:Website: https://www.josephnguthiru.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/josephnguthiruFacebook: https://facebook.com/nguthirujoseX (Twitter): https://twitter.com/_nguthiruInstagram: https://instagram.com/_nguthiruThreads: https://www.threads.net/@_nguthiruConnect with us on socials:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thebroadconceptpodcast/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thebroadconceptpodcastLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-broad-concept-podcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/61590229029684/Other Podcast platforms:YouTube: https://youtu.be/_e_XE1eUtYEApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Join our newsletter inner circle - https://the-broad-concept-podcast.kit.com/b4effb1041For inquiries, collaborations or guest suggestions:[email protected].

At the time or recording this conversation, the discussion was on 107 million trees. At the time of uploading this, there has been an additional 10M+ and it's not even been 2 months! EarthLungs are now at a staggering 118million trees!

Begging the question, what does it take to plant 100M trees?

In this episode, we sit down with Victor Mwanga, Founder and CEO of EarthLungs, one of Africa's most ambitious reforestation organisations, operating across Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique (with a few other new additions!). A logistician by training and environmentalist at heart, Victor's story begins not in a boardroom but on a piece of degraded land in rural Kenya, and a bamboo experiment that changed everything. We get into the model behind the numbers, how they turn illegal loggers and charcoal burners into forest custodians, and why they've deliberately stayed outside the carbon credit market. We also talk community and what it really means to restore a landscape when the people living on it have no alternative but to destroy it.

This is a conversation about forests, livelihoods, bamboo, drones, mangroves, money, and the long game of giving Africa its lungs back.
