I really like your declaration, u just voice out exactly my mind.
.

Sure, the issue of start up capital is always one of the hardest thing for everyone but one can start small and then grow big.
Money is the blood of every business. You can start from a plot.

Agriculture › Youth In Agriculture, Are We Really Involved? by world1(op): 1:16am On Dec 06, 2014

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.

After years of playing second fiddle to the older generation, we the young farmers are transforming the perception of farming, long entrenched in the nation’s psyche. To most Nigerians, farming was a back-breaking, hardly remunerative, labour-intensive task.u
However, we young farmers are challenging that notion and causing a paradigm shift to one that regards farming as a profitable venture. As a consequence, many now view agriculture, not as a last resort source of income but as a potentially rewarding enterprise.

Unlike the conventional farmers, we are not interested in cultivating the traditional crops or rearing the typical domestic animals. Our farming philosophy is simple: grow short cycle crops that have quick returns and focus on intensive agriculture.

To us farming is trendy, and notwithstanding our impressive academic qualifications, we are very much at home soiling our hands to eke out a living where our less imaginative peers see no opportunities.

It is no secret that Africa is known to be a vast portal for the production of endless treasures.

These natural resources include diamonds, gold, oil, iron, copper, silver, petroleum, cocoa beans, as well as various tropical fruits.

Although the continent known as the “motherland,” is rich in precious natural resources, Africa’s reality of being faced with a dire issue in relation to food resources and agricultural production needs, as well as water scarcity is becoming a serious concern for the ever growing population.

The Future of Agriculture Lies in the Hands of the Youth…….

Agriculture › Re: YOUNG TRAINEE FARMER'S INITIATIVES W.A.B.I by world1(m): 12:28am On Dec 06, 2014

West Agri-Business Initiative (WABI) works to address the youth problems by training young people to grow high-quality crops and livestock that can be sold to develop income and employment opportunities.

The project has shown that young people are willing to take up farming as a source of livelihood and that, with the right support and training, they will stay in the countryside to produce food instead of migrating to cities.

At WABI we are helping young people to:

Set up demonstration plots where they can receive basic farming training and learn how to improve the quality of their crops and livestock.

Learn how to grow high-value crops such as vegetables, mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumber, potatoes, soya beans and plantains.

Learn how to keep livestock such as fish, snail, rabbit, Grasscutter and poultry farming for business.

Learn marketing skills to get the best price at market.

Take a more active role in local leadership and governance and to gain more access to agricultural and business-related information and networks they need to succeed.

Who are we helping?

We are supporting 1200 young people yearly in Nigeria.

Am jst seeing it clearly that its for 1acre

World1 pls u are needed here
We need explanations of how 3k clearing turned to 43k clearing

Land clearing is different from land preparations.
Ploughing
Harrowing
Farm layout and many more.

Agriculture › Re: YOUNG TRAINEE FARMER'S INITIATIVES W.A.B.I by world1(m): 8:31pm On Dec 05, 2014

Dyt:
That's why I want clarification
Is the quoted prices for a group owning 10 acres or an individual owing 1acre?

Am sure lots of questions still needs to be answered, cos initially we were told 3k for clearing an acre, if this is for a group of over 10 persons then its very reasonable

Let's wait to hear frm the horses mouth

Please don't make this sound as if WABI is collecting this money from you guys.
We gave you cost analysis of setting up each of this crops on 1acre of land.
NOT GROUP
Thanks

Teephad:
What about SECURITY of the farmland ?...think this should be look into for the safety of the product when nearing harvest..and non budgeted charges on security will not spring up its head afterwards.....what is your take on this ?

Guys try to understand how this project works. It becomes your farm for 1 year. Wabi is not the owner of the land so don't expect any security from WABI. If you guys feel you need security then all of you can decide on the best way to go about it.

,

Hi World 1, I am one of those who cannot make it to Ogbomosho and I have to be frank about it. I'm rather very far away. Thousands of miles away in fact. I intend to do all by proxy but I cannot get someone down to Ogbomoso next week.

Can you please device another way for us in Diaspora to key in?

The reason I'm keen on this particular one is that we have many like-minded people intending to do same thing.

Thank you.

You can contact me.
WABI is an agricultural empowerment program. So we are every where.

Infact, i don't know where to start. This is a very good initiative, my prayer is that God in its infinite mercy continue to bless and abide with ALL the Organizers, Facilitators & Coordinators, most especially World1 & Hotmas 911 even if i'm not benefited.
My questions are: i have applied but not seen any response, am i disqualified or kiv? if disqualified, can i reapplied? is the land allocation one slot per person or base on nos of slots requested? I believe as a very experience farmer. which you are, you ought to know the estimate farming cost of each crop per slot even before the take off, this is will go a long way to assist all interested parties to know their financial capacity. No one would want to build a house without first planning it and do a rough estimate of what it can cost to do this and that or else he shall start and stop on the way without completing it. what are the prerequisite requirements and cost/expenses and optional cost like assisting in managing the farm.
what are the terms and conditions?

Do you have your slot no now?
Its 1acre per participant

Owing a farm with ready market looks promising. I can go over once in a month to inspect and that's about it. It is directed at world1

It can be managed for you.

Great initiative. More grease.

I'm interested but due to distance, I can't be physically present, would online training be enough? And will I get help in managing my plot?

Plus how large is the initial free land to be given to each individual?

The land is 1acre per participant
No training for outsiders
Your project can be managed for you but you have to be on ground for land allocation
