Farm Up Jamaica is a nonprofit organization committed to revitalizing Jamaica’s agricultural sector by promoting sustainable, organic farming practices. Focused on reducing poverty and agricultural imports, the organization empowers at-risk youth to become agripreneurs through hands-on training and educational programs. By transforming idle or underused farmland into productive, eco-friendly operations, Farm Up Jamaica helps increase local food production while creating income-generating opportunities for communities. Its efforts contribute to food security on the island and foster international partnerships, particularly with the Jamaican global diaspora. The organization’s hallmark program, the Organic Climate-Smart Agriculture (OCSA) system, encourages environmentally responsible farming while combating the impact of climate change. Farm Up Jamaica also collaborates with schools and universities to raise awareness and involvement among younger generations. Additionally, its innovative Direct Trade Model helps farmers access export markets and receive fair compensation for their goods. With strong community involvement and sustainable development goals, Farm Up Jamaica is shaping a healthier and more resilient agricultural future for Jamaica.
