Meet The NIGERIAN Wizard Farmer Who Grows Crops In The Air by smilek(m): 2:39am On Apr 27, 2019
Samson Ogbole is trying to solve a problem many aren't aware exists.

In his native Nigeria there is a shortage of land needed to provide food for its ever-growing population of 190 million.
There are only 30 million hectares of farmland under cultivation in Nigeria annually, short of the estimated 78.5 million needed for food production, according to the International Trade Administration of the United States.
It is this significant problem that Ogbole is tackling with an unconventional method of farming that involves growing crops in the air.
Aeroponics, as this method is known as, is a process of growing plants in the air without the use of soil.
