What we do

Maripha Farms is a 15-acre demonstration farm for integrated, organic agriculture in the Guinea Savannah of Kwara State — the transition zone between Nigeria's arid north and humid south.

Modelled on the Songhai Institute's integrated approach, where nothing is wasted and biodiversity is restored, the hub develops young people as agents of change and works toward food sovereignty across Kwara State.
