Ila Community Farm

An organic community farm of 6 hectares was created in Mulendema chiefdom in 2022. The goal of this community farm is to provide the local market with healthy produce and sell organic vegetables to the tourism industry in Kafue National Park to support the local economy. In collaboration with Chief Mulendema, this farm has become a learning center for the local people of Mulendema chiefdom to see how they can do organic and sustainable farming.

As part of the Foundation’s broader commitment to food sustainability, the garden now also contributes to projects like the “From Farm to Table” recipe book, which celebrates local ingredients and cooking traditions. Proceeds from the book help fund community development projects like this one – creating a cycle of support that’s rooted in local knowledge and shared benefit.
