Introduction:
Nnachet Farms is a farming venture and agriculture training centre where youths are equip with necessary agric-skills to be self-reliant in life.
OUR SOLUTIONS
Our solutions to provide healthy and sustainable food for all are grouped into three areas:
- Integrated fish, snail, piggery, poultry, vegetable and crop farming systems. These systems would promote organic farming through product and waste reuse and recycling.For example: wastes from the vegetable and crop farms would be utilized to produce animal feeds, while the poultry and piggery dungs and waste-waters from the fish farm would be used to irrigate the crop and vegetable farms. Also the pig and poultry dungs would be used to fertilize the fish pond and grow maggots and other aquatic insects used in feeding the fish, while the fish meal and fish oil from the fish farm would serve as essential materials in producing feeds for all the animals.
- Empowerment training of youths, women and local farmers. These would equip youths and women with many agricultural skills to be self-reliant. Major focus areas include:
- Various animals, crops and vegetables farming.
- Animal feed production using cheap and local materials.
- Processing and packaging of various agric-products such as: dried fish and meat; plantain, yam, potatoes and cassava flour; potatoes and plantain chips; palm oil and fish production.
- Integrated and sustainable farming through organic and waste recycling methods as explained in 1. above.
- Also, the concepts of family farming, digital and affiliate marketing for sustainable modern agribusinesses would be promoted through various seminars and training programmes
Project ImpactS
