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.

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.

Industrial chicken production is a clear example of how global finance and corporate power can reshape something as basic as food into a vehicle for profit, despite the cost to animals, people, or the planet.

The global appetite for factory farmed chicken was deliberately engineered by an industry searching for ‘efficiency’.

Collective effort is essential for improving food security, and it's important to encourage everyone's participation in finding solutions. Kids Who Farm is actively collaborating with the St. Ignatius de Loyola Parish in Tetuan, Zamboanga City, to promote urban microfarming as a way to enhance local food accessibility.

A technology transfer session was conducted by Kids Who Farm YoungAgriX and Volunteer Lead, Ms. Diowella Ponteras to the Parish Pastoral Council members where they learned the basics of Gardenator making and urban gardening.

Thank you St. Ignatius de Loyola Parish for your commitment to help build food-secure communities!
