WHYFARM which means We Help You-th Farm aims at promoting agriculture among children by increasing their awareness on the world food problem and by doing so, grow the future feeders of 2050. This is done by transforming the negative perception associated with agriculture among communities, children in particular into a sector which is worthwhile through agri- edutainment (agricultural education and entertainment) to counter the challenges related to food security in our communities and worldwide. Furthermore WHYFARM aims to equip young men and women with knowledge and skills to identify and recognize opportunities in the agricultural sector for self-sustenance and improved livelihood. Why- WHYFARM? By 2050, the population is expected to be 9 billion people. Therefore in the next 35 years, 5 to 10 year olds (NOW 2015) will be 40 to 45 years of age. They are the ones that will be responsible for producing our food. Therefore there must be new approaches to ensure that they (children) eventually take up this task in order to ensure food security occurs and hunger is eliminated.

WHYFARM which   means  We Help You-th Farm aims   at   promoting agriculture among children by increasing their awareness on the world food problem and by doing so, grow the future feeders of 2050. This is done   by   transforming   the   negative   perception   associated   with agriculture   among   communities,   children   in   particular   into   a   sector which  is  worthwhile   through agri-edutainment   (agricultural  education and entertainment) to counter the challenges related to food security in our communities and worldwide.

Furthermore WHYFARM aims to equip young men and women with knowledge and skills to identify and recognize opportunities in the agricultural sector for self-sustenance and improved livelihood. 

Why- WHYFARM?

By 2050, the population is expected to be 9 billion people. Therefore in the next 35 years, 5 to 10 year olds (NOW 2015) will be 40 to 45 years of age. They are the ones that will be responsible for producing   our   food.   Therefore   there  must   be   new   approaches   to   ensure   that   they   (children) eventually take up this task in order to ensure food security occurs and hunger is eliminated.
