Food security is a critical concern as the Nigeria and global population expands and natural resources dwindle. Smart solutions for more efficient farming, hardier crops, alternative sources of nutrition, and safer food packaging and storage are essential. Countries using this system to feed the world are USA, Isreal, China, India, Canada, Australia, Egypt etc.


Drip Irrigation

Drip irrigation is a type of micro-irrigation system that has the potential to save water and nutrients by allowing water to drip slowly to the roots of plants, either from above the soil surface or buried below the surface.
The advantages of drip irrigation are:
Fertilizer and nutrient loss is minimized due to a localized application and reduced leaching.
Water application efficiency is high if managed correctly.
Field leveling is not necessary.
Fields with irregular shapes are easily accommodated.
Recycled non-potable water can be safely used.
Moisture within the root zone can be maintained at field capacity.
Soil type plays a less important role in the frequency of irrigation.
Soil erosion is lessened.
Weed growth is lessened.
Water distribution is highly uniform, controlled by the output of each nozzle.
Labour cost is less than other irrigation methods.
Variation in supply can be regulated by regulating the valves and drippers.
Fertigation can easily be included with minimal waste of fertilizers.
Foliage remains dry, reducing the risk of disease.
Usually operated at lower pressure than other types of pressurized irrigation, reducing energy costs.


Getting more grain to market with the use of GrainPro

About one-third of the food produced for human consumption globally is lost or wasted each year. In low-income countries, most of that loss happens in the early and middle stages of the production chain. One problem is that the majority of newly harvested grains and pulses get ruined by pests and mold before reaching the market.
Israeli-designed GrainPro Cocoons provide a simple and cheap way for African and Asian farmers to keep their grain market-fresh.
The huge bags, invented by international food technology consultant Prof. Shlomo Navarro, keep both water and air out. They’re used in about 100 countries including in Africa, Latin America and the Middle and Far East.




Helping more farmers export crops

Farms can’t export unless they comply with complex and frequently changing government regulations in target countries regarding details including water, fertilizer, pesticides, plant protection, safety and labor conditions.
That’s a daunting challenge for small farms especially, which must be part of larger cooperatives if they want to sell abroad.
The unique cloud-based AKOLogic farm management system from kibbutz-based Agricultural Knowledge On-Line (AKOL) gives farmers constantly updated regulatory guidelines on a single dashboard. If a customer wants to sell in Walmart, AKOLogic automatically applies the relevant US regulations to the growing plan.

Lasticlala, it will help our farmers!

We never feed 200million finish... Na to feed the world. Misplaced priority.

Nigeria has so much potential that is being swept under the carpet by religious, political and ethnic quagmire

It is our duty as citizens of this Nation to see beyond now. I shared possible ways we can feed not just 200m people but the world.

Yes. My brother. The present administration seems to favour Agricultural Sector this time but there are enermies that hinders some of the policies to be implemented.

That's why i always say Nigeria is too big for a central government

Yes. You are right because We have 250 ethnic groups in Nigeria with their own language, culture, tradition, and interest.
America has only 6
Great China has 56

Those 56 are just different dialects of one language..and in America almost everyone understands English...
