Farm & debt

Agriculture is expensive, it is a patient expensive process hence a lot of our forefathers were poor, & it was just enough to survive

A city kid wanting agriculture, it is more expensive as you have to pay for what the rurals get free - land, land preparation etc When buying input, the market determines the price, when selling your output the market again wants to decide the price - which they do almost every time

As a start-up, crowdfunding became almost the norm to raise funds but a few sincere ones made a huge mistake

Ruminant Animal rearing - the foundation to combat climate change

The reality of climate change isn't really a debate anymore, how much of it we believe could differ, and the extent to its impact differs.

#ZeroHunger #foodsecurity For example, Northern Nigeria suffers from desertification and those in the Southern coastal line have coastal encroachment.
In the past I took time to explain how the waste products of animals especially cows are a major contributor to greenhouse gas emission (GHG)#ZeroHunger
