Innovative Minds, a new Gambian-owned technology-driven start-up firm based in The Gambia with offices on Kairaba Avenue recently launched its first product dubbed Money Farm. Money Farm is The Gambia’s first online crowdfunding platform built by Gambians based in The Gambia.

The CEO  of Innovative Minds, Mr Modou NS Njie who recently launched the platform at headquarters of The Gambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry KERR JULA and attended by a cross-section of stakeholders in the agriculture sector as well as some farmers explained the idea behind setting up MONEY FARM.  There are so many farms across the country, but farmers often face a daunting task in gaining access to financial input to help them scale their business. As a result, they resort to subsistence farming to have enough food to eat.

We empower the rural farmer in the form of providing access to improved resources (including farm inputs, education on satisfactory farming techniques, etc) to enhance the quality and quantity of their production and additionally provide a healthy income after harvest for both farmer and investor.

We are a team of dedicated, young Gambians who have a passion for agriculture and farming (all forms) with diverse backgrounds. Our common goal is to seek for ways to impact on rural farmers, contribute to the growth of food production, improve food security in The Gambia, and to ensure more youth participation in Agriculture.
