YOUTH HAVE GOT TO CLAIM THEIR SEAT AT THE TABLE

When it comes to youth and agriculture, most of us think we know what needs to be done: governments and other stakeholders need to develop innovative approaches and policies to get more youth involved in this critical sector.

It goes without saying that the stakeholders are expected to involve the youth in innovation and policy formulation. Not much is said about what the youth can do themselves to facilitate their involvement in these processes.

Africa is currently the most youthful continent in the world. It is estimated that by 2015, youth will make up 60 percent of the population on the continent.

We young people, who will soon be the drivers of the continent’s economy, need to know that we have a right to be involved in high-level policy dialogues on agriculture and begin actively seeking opportunities to participate.

Before people begin to circulate pirated, cheap and un authorised New year greetings,I wish you an Original HAPPY NEW YEAR in advance with NAFDAC registration number 01-01-2015 See u next year. God bless.

Ugwu and ewedu i have planted before. Ewedu was on a commercial scale while ugu was a test running.
My ewedu did not do well despite the fact that i employ a rural farmer that has been successfully planting his own for years.
Factors to consider when planting
1. Type if soil in terms of water retaining capacity, fertility of the soil, pest and disease
2. Sloppiness of the land. You can irrigate a sloppy land successfully. The water will keep draining down instead of sinking in.
There are still a lot of uncontrollable factors that work together.
I am glad you say experiment plot. If you can afford, please plant the three vegetables, give them your best and then you can decide for yourself.
That's the best way to learn and become an expert. And subsequently you can decide on your best crop.
Farm experiences, results and expectation varies from plot to plot. Plot A might bring in 100kg while plot B might produce 2kg despite that they undergo the same treatment.
ROI is not the most important now but getting it right at first.

Tnx man,u r real!

SEE REASONS WHY YOU NEED TO INVEST TODAY
Let’s talk - Did you know that since 2009, investors from countries outside Africa have been buying and leasing millions of hectares of Nigerian land for agricultural purposes? Many people may not know it but there’s a trend of serious land grabbing by foreign interests for OUR land.
Did you know that Foreign Direct Investment in African agribusiness was $10 billion in 2010 with Nigeria having the highest and is projected to reach $45 billion by 2020? Agriculture is taking a huge leap in Africa and investors want a piece of the action too.
