The mission of the foundation is to tackle extreme poverty and hunger among rural small farmers in Nigeria by boosting small scale agricultural production.

The Foundation try to reverse the trend in the unavailability of water and land, poor natural resources management, inadequate access to services and markets, unfavorable policies, poor soil, low produce prices, low access to high quality seeds, low micro credit facilities and low enhanced farming implements facing small scale farmers in Nigeria.
