To encourage the African rice farmers by helping to look for a better and conducive rice farming system which would lead to large production of this traditional rice ...Because of the difficulties they face,they're not able to cultivate enough and this has made the price more expensive and not affordable for the poor mercies. Some of the challenges are not having modern equipments, they cultivate manually and this reduces the acreage tilled,it increases labour cost and reduced production, cultivation is also tough due to tree populated forests that requires so much labour to clear etc.

Create awareness and sensitize the people about the Slow Food principles and demonstrate, promote and celebrate our local food heritage. One of our local heritage is the Coconut because it's a peculiar plant in Badagry and it dominates the entire coastal region of Badagry. Unfortunately, people are cutting it down to give way to industrial agriculture, logging it for construction and firewood and what they refer to as development. So we also work to reawake the people of Badagry about the many benefits of Coconut through creative exhibition of foods and products that can be obtained through Coconut.
