SEC Registration No. 2022020040550-11

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 advo

cacy 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.

Mr. Gustavo Gonzalez, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator in the Philippines provided a keynote to the CSO participants composed of young leaders, development workers from National NGOs and Foundations.

Kids Who Farm had the opportunity to collaborate with Social Landscaping e.V., an association of social gardeners and landscapers from Germany who implemented a project for the Bata ng Calabnugan orphanage in Sibulan, Negros Oriental. A technology transfer on basic floating raft aquaponics was conducted for the Social Landscaping Team to help utilize the orphanage fish pond into a thriving food source using aquaponics production system while engaging the children on a meaningful activity.

The SL Team also built a playground for the children, repaired the water wheel which is a source of water for the facility and improved the orphanage's greenhouse and vermicomposting facilities.

Thank you Matthias Mannes, SL Co-Founder and Team for the collaboration and the amazing work that you do for the children of the Philippines!
