Rich Adeyemi is an immigrant farmer from Nigeria and has been farming organically for 10 years before relocating to the United States. He is passionate about quality nutrition for families, ecosystem conservation, sustainability, urban farming and community development. Through his work, he pioneered a seed saving initiative which led to the creation of a seed bank to save and share indigenous seed varieties from going into extinction.

Back in his home country, Rich’s strong desire for making food available, affordable and accessible led him to designing training curricula such as Farm to School Africa, Small Space Gardening, Rural Women Entrepreneurship Development Program, and Farming as a Business, which he relentlessly used in training families, schools, rural and urban communities to pursue and attain food security sustainably.

Rich is certified in Level 2 Food Safety in Catering from Chartered Institute of
Environmental Health UK, Food Security and Sustainability in Crop Production from Wageningen University & Research Netherlands and also a Master Composter with Bernalillo County Extension Master Composter Program.
