Green Africa Hub is a Bristol-based social enterprise making African and Caribbean cooking affordable, green, and future-proof — through Smart-Prep methodology, AI carbon tracking, and community-centred sustainability education.
"Sustainability is everyone's business — and should be in the business of everyone. Black communities are not just part of the green transition. We are leading it."
The Problem We Solve
African and Caribbean communities face a unique and urgent challenge at the intersection of fuel poverty, cultural preservation, and the green transition.
African and Caribbean households experience fuel poverty at 2x the national average — traditional gas cooking is expensive, high-carbon, and increasingly unaffordable.
Rising energy costs and lack of green alternatives threaten the economic viability of African and Caribbean food traditions — a heritage built over centuries.
The UK sustainable food technology sector is growing rapidly — but almost entirely within mainstream culinary traditions. Our community has been overlooked.
Our Solution
A community-facing platform combining shared electric induction cooking, AI carbon tracking, and practical sustainability education — all built around African and Caribbean food culture.
Our proprietary system adapts traditional African and Caribbean recipes for energy-efficient induction cooking — reducing carbon emissions, cutting energy costs, and preserving authentic flavours. 11 fully tested recipes completed. 40+ in development.
The UK's first AI-powered carbon tracking tool for African and Caribbean cooking. Built with Python, Scikit-learn, and Power BI — mapping every recipe to real emissions data using DEFRA 2025 factors. Real-time, culturally relevant, and actionable.
A Bristol-based Hub providing centralised R&D, content creation, and quality assurance — feeding into licensed community Spokes across UK cities. Birmingham and Manchester in Year 2. 10+ cities by Year 5.
