RINIFA PLANET  

An Integrated Family of Farms – ‘One-Umbrella’ with Diverse Farm Projects

RINIFA Planet is a demonstration and resource center running an integrated farming module amidst a peasant community. We are a social-economic empowerment platform envisioned to bring practical farming skills and training to the local peasants, leading to commercial sustainable farming, thus breaking the yoke of poverty. And provide a solution to processing and value addition to produce and harvests, thus competing on the African and global market.

Africa is the most poverty stricken of all the world’s continents, with approximately 750 million subsistence farmers, who are living undernourished and degraded lives where their current crops yields cannot even provide for their family requirements. Billions of dollars stream into Africa every year and yet the poor are getting poorer and the numbers of poor people are increasing. We believe that RINIFA Planet is part of God’s solution for Africa, where it can be turned around from being the “begging bowl” to the “breadbasket of the world”. RINIFA Planet is simply a platform of equipping to empower the poor to help themselves.

Farming was originated before man was on the face of the earth, when God first put His ways in place to govern His creation and their interrelations with one another. God is the master farmer who has been farming since the beginning and by simply following His ways, amazing solutions to the food security and poverty crisis can be revealed. ‘My people perish because of lack of knowledge.’ So can there be a solution to this crisis? Hosea 4:6
