Samson began his work with aeroponics in 2014 because of its ability to conserve space, water and soil. He believes aeroponics has the potential to end conflicts over land and monumentally improve food productivity in Nigeria.

“We also want to ensure that food production is no longer seasonal, and we’re also bringing in smart sensor technologies into agriculture so that you’re able to get feedback from your plants,” - Samson Ogbole
