The Sustainable Farming College Foundation is incorporated in the UK (7850325) and is a registered charity holds 40,000 hectares of unencumbered land with a mandate to empower impoverished families in rural areas of Ghana. Impoverished families who are participating in the program are provided with a new fully furnished residential home on a private house plot in addition to a private 1.5 acre farm plot in order to raise livestock or to tend cash crops, this is further supported with the theory and practical hands-on skills training required to professionally maintain the eight hectare Sustainable Farm.

In a strategic alliance with ICCES (Integrated Community Centre for Employable Skills) a division of the Ministry of Employment & Social Welfare, specialised theory and practical hands-on skills training is provided in sustainable farming techniques via the 56 strategically located centres throughout the country.

Candidate families are identified and strictly qualified as suitable to participate in the program through the LEAP (Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty) scheme, which helps impoverished families to help themselves. LEAP is an initiative of the National Social Protection Strategy.

The implementation schedule is to afforestate 128,000 hectares of derogated land. This is methodically achieved by creating four master planned communities of 2,500 Ha (250 Farms) to form a township of 10,000 Ha (1,000 Farms). Each community is complete with roads and the necessary infrastructure to serve the needs of the constituents. Every qualified family will be provided with a farm (8 ha) which consists of a house (0.2 ha), a silo (0.2 ha), a farming plot for cash crop agriculture and /or animal husbandry (0.6 ha) and a jatropha tree farm (7 ha).  There are four townships per region in four regions of Ghana providing vastly improved livelihood and housing to 16,000 families.
