A tech-savvy Nigerian farmer is using hydroponics, a method of soilless farming, to engage and inspire young people across the country. The farmer has established a cutting-edge hydroponic farm lab, which is introducing modern farming techniques to a new generation of Nigerians eager to explore sustainable agriculture.
Through this initiative, the farmer aims to make agriculture more attractive and accessible to the youth, particularly in urban areas where traditional farming methods are less common. “This isn’t just about growing food; it’s about changing how young people view agriculture,” the farmer explained.
Hydroponics allows for more efficient use of space and water, making it ideal for regions with limited arable land. The innovation has already begun to stir interest in farming careers, offering young Nigerians an alternative to traditional agricultural practices and providing them with the skills necessary to thrive in an evolving agricultural landscape.
