Together, let us help build a food-secure future! The future of food security depends on the anticipated participation of young people in food and agriculture. Without the next generation of food producers, securing food for the future will be a great challenge. It is in this premise that the Kids Who Farm, a Zamboanga City-based non-profit start-up and advocacy initiative that aims to inspire future farmers by educating the youth on the importance and value of food and farming was co-founded by the father and daughter duo of Moncini (Muneer) Hinay and Raaina Hinay of Zamboanga City, Philippines on 26 February 2019. The core team is composed of proactive youth volunteers, young professionals, and community leaders in Zamboanga. Kids Who Farm’s vision is to reverse the persistent trend of aging Filipino farmers by building the expertise of the youth in agriculture and creating urban green jobs incubation opportunities to engage them in the business of farming to secure food for the future. Inspire the youth as the next generation of future farmers by making farming fun and easy to be learned, applied, and sustained;
2. Facilitate youth-centric programs and activities that will provide opportunities for the youth to participate in local food system solutions and community development;
3. Establish community-based social enterprises that will support local food security and promote socio-economic development of assisted communities;
4. Establish collaborative engagement with the government and the private sector to advance the vision and mission of Kids Who Farm. To date, Kids Who Farm has trained over 6,000 individuals across the country on urban agriculture and sustainable production. It has also established 38 community food gardens and school microfarm projects in 25 barangays in Zamboanga City providing fresh and hyperlocal food access to local residents especially in the time of the pandemic. Kids Who Farm has been recognized by the government and private institutions. Among the recognition received by Kids Who Farm were:

Indeed, our food doesn’t come from a box. It is being produced by our farmers, our food producers. The aging farmer population and the perceived disinterest of the youth of today to engage in farming imperil the future of our food security. Kids Who Farm believes that young as we are, we can be a part of the solution.

Small-scale farms play a crucial role in creating global food security. But farmers of small farms often find themselves facing insecure land tenure, climate risk, unequal terms of trade and international trade regimes.

The prevailing narrative that feeding the world is the preserve of industrial agriculture is based on flawed logic.

Kids Who Farm

Make farming fun and easy! :)

Kids Who Farm (KWF) is a Zamboanga City-based food production + education initiative which aims to teach young kids (school and out-of-youth school kids) about the value of food and farming. It endeavors to influence kids to better appreciate the beauty of food production through fun and easy learning sessions,exciting and educational farm visits, inspirational farmer encounters and the establishment of food gardens as learning sites run by kids.

KWF will collaborate with schools to strengthen their “Gulayan sa Paaralan” Program and make it a meaningful and impact-driven school exercise that will empower and influence school children on the importance of food and farming.

KWF will also work with like-minded organizations from the government and the private sector to advance food and nutrition security initiatives that encourages the participation of kids and the youth.
