Banana Plantations

Riverside Farm Institute is situated on a lovely campus and farm of over 1,100 hectares reaching from the beautiful Kafue River along the rocky escarpment to the dandy distance near the Kafue Gorge Road. Housing, classrooms and industry facilities are spread across the campus creating a lovely natural environment for practical education!

The bright green of banana plantations contrast nicely against the deep green of new avocado plantations and the sweeping views across the center pivots full of windblown wheat or soya! Large old growth forests still cover large parts of the property providing cool shaded walks in the intense African heat. Many have called this model farm an oasis in a growing desert of nation-wide deforestation.

The mission of Riverside Farm Institute is: equipping men and women to make an impact for good in their communities. This is accomplished through training in life skills, by promoting healthy living and by a strengthened spiritual focus. These programs and services are provided by the organization in a sustainable manner while working in support of the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in reaching the World for Christ.
