About Us - Urban Farming Initiative

Urban Farming Initiative is more than farming it is a national food security strategy, a youth employment engine, and a pathway to sustainable urban development.

Who We Are

The Urban Farming Initiative (UFI) is a structured agricultural movement transforming cities into productive food hubs. We promote sustainable food production within urban and peri-urban spaces rooftops, estates, schools, markets, institutions, and unused lands using climate-smart and environmentally responsible methods.

Founded on the belief that hunger can be eliminated through organization, discipline, and innovation, UFI is committed to building a secure, transparent, and scalable food production system that strengthens communities and supports national development.
