Farm2Feed Initiative sets date to kick off support for Kwara farmers

In a bid to combat rising food costs, the Farm2Feed Initiative is poised to launch a transformative project in Kwara State. Spearheaded by Professor Abubakar Olanrewaju Suleiman, the initiative aims to bolster agriculture, enhance food security, and empower local farmers. Interested participants are invited to text “Yes” to 0903-985-9793 to join.

The initiative’s first phase will involve cultivating up to 1 hectare of land in every village and town across Kwara State. This extensive cultivation effort aims to support farmers’ cohorts and kickstart agricultural productivity.

Following this, the second phase will engage passionate farmers in a comprehensive 12-month program. Participants will receive land, equipment, and guidance to cultivate essential crops such as rice, beans, tomatoes, and peppers. This structured support aims to uplift farmers and equip them to contribute actively to Kwara State’s agricultural sector.

Aligned with Professor Abubakar Suleiman’s vision to support farmers and make Kwara state become a leading agricultural hub, the Farm2Feed Initiative promises to enrich lives, tackle food challenges, and foster sustainable development.

To qualify, individuals must be native to Kwara State, involved in farming or express a strong interest, committed to addressing food security, available for the 12-month program, and possess at least one hectare of land.

The official launch of the Farm2Feed Initiative is scheduled for 11 am, Thursday, June 20th, 2024, at the PAMAN Event Centre in Ilorin. Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to be part of a future where food is abundant and affordable for all!
