Queen Rania visits LIVINC Incubator farm

Queen Rania of Jordan has visited the LIVINC Incubator farm in Zai in Al Balqa’ governorate.

The Queen spoke to the organisers of LIVINC about their boutique farm and the community initiatives and value-focused programs it supports.

The LIVINC founder, Shadi Al Hasan, welcomed the Queen to the farm before Her Majesty spoke to the core team responsible for the farm’s creation, what it offers and plans for the future.

She then met with many of the creators at the farm, who showed her how they are benefiting from LIVINC’s organisation and the opportunities it offers. Afterwards, she visited the greenhouse to attend a briefing on green initiatives and sustainable solutions. Queen Rania was also able to see the work of creators on the terrace and heard the local bank Bokra Band perform.

Her Majesty’s final stop was at the pottery studio.

Queen Raia said she is “proud of this initiative’s ambition and its commitment to encourage young creative talents in Jordan” in a post on her Instagram account following her visit.

LIVINC Incubator is an 8,000 square metre farm that provides opportunities for Jordanian creatives to have financial independence by assisting them in turning their ideas into businesses. It also promotes the creative economy in several sectors that include self-development, arts, communication, and content creation. LIVINC wants to help foster the local economy by helping people start businesses.

It has created the Creativity Caravan that works to inspire inventiveness and development of skills of people from underprivileged areas.
