Where Agriculture Begins.
From a child’s first seed to a community’s next harvest. Agricultural education, climate-smart seedlings and practical farm projects within The Nation Building Project.
Raising leaders. Transforming nations through agriculture.
Three connected areas of work
OKA FARMS connects education with practical production and farm delivery. Its manager and field team work within NBP to bring learning, seedlings and agricultural projects together.
Age-tailored activities introduce children and teenagers to food production, enterprise, environmental care and leadership.
Climate-smart planting materials, nursery work and agricultural consultations help turn knowledge into practical growing.
Farm assessment, design, implementation support and monitoring connect agricultural aspirations with an organised delivery process.
One agricultural journey
School programmes, university engagement, individual enterprise and community farming form one connected pathway.

Learners follow a plant from seed to food, plan a small bed, care for it together and discover value addition.
From knowledge to production
OKA FARMS combines nursery production, agricultural consultations and practical implementation support. Its activities include crop growing, integrated farm planning and demonstrations of growing techniques.
Planting materials and practical guidance for growers, supported by crop selection, nursery care and local growing conditions.
Vertical growing demonstrations and reported grafting experiments, including the multi-fruit “fruit salad tree”, create opportunities for learning and horticultural development.
Site assessment, production planning, land preparation and ongoing technical support help farmers structure their projects and address productivity challenges.
Expansion priorities include a planned OKA FARMS centre in Kumba. Individuals and farming groups can discuss their next project, training needs and potential sponsorship through NBP.
Programme experience
OKA FARMS reports reaching over 4,500 children and teenagers across five regions of Cameroon over two years. The supplied programme report documents practical agricultural initiation between March and May 2026.

The March–May 2026 initiative gave young participants maize seeds, encouraged planting and followed up to see who had established a farm. This connects an educational activity with responsibility, practical results and lessons for the next programme cycle.
