The Mini Farm Project Ltd
Overview
The Mini Farm Project Ltd is a nonprofit organization operating in Australia, primarily focused on addressing food insecurity by establishing a network of charity farms across Queensland. Founded in 2014, this initiative aims to provide fresh produce to those in need while fostering sustainable agricultural practices and community engagement.
Mission and Activities
The organization's mission is to create a sustainable future where no Queenslander goes hungry. To achieve this, The Mini Farm Project cultivates a variety of fresh produce, including fruits, vegetables, herbs, eggs, and bush foods. These products are donated at no cost to food relief charities, ensuring consistent access to nutritious food throughout the year.
Beyond food production, the farms serve as educational hubs and centers for community engagement. They offer programs that include Work for the Dole, university research collaborations, learning initiatives for school students, volunteer opportunities, and programs for participants under the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Additionally, the organization employs long-term unemployed individuals alongside qualified farmers, promoting job creation and skill development.
Goals and Impact
The Mini Farm Project aligns with several of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on both environmental and social challenges. Key objectives include:
- Future-proofing the local food system and supply chain: By establishing a network of urban and regenerative farms, the project aims to enhance resilience against natural disasters and climate change.
- Building soil integrity: Through sustainable growing methods, the project contributes to environmental sustainability and improved soil health.
- Community outreach and education: Providing educational programs and engaging the community in agricultural practices and environmental stewardship.
Operations
The Mini Farm Project currently operates farms in Samford and Loganlea, with plans for further expansion across Queensland. A notable example of its success is Millen Farm at Samford, which supplies between 20kg to 50kg of free fresh produce weekly to Meals on Wheels Moreton Bay. Local residents also have the opportunity to purchase fresh produce directly from the farm.
Recognition
As a registered charity, The Mini Farm Project Ltd has garnered recognition for its innovative approach to addressing food insecurity and fostering sustainable agriculture in Australia.
