Agricultural Support Initiatives

Agriculture is the backbone of many households in Ijebu North and Ijebu North East, and our communities are blessed with highly fertile land, capable of producing abundant crops.

However, many farmers still struggle due to limited tools, low access to improved seeds, lack of training, and inconsistent market access.

Our Agricultural Support Initiatives focus on empowering farmers, improving productivity, and promoting sustainable farming techniques that protect the land while increasing yield and income.

This project helps farmers grow not just crops — but opportunities.

About the project

Starting point

During engagements with farmers, youth groups, and community leaders, we learned that many households depend entirely on farming, yet:

Traditional tools limit productivity

Market prices can be unstable

Climate change affects crop success

Knowledge gaps reduce long-term land sustainability

This highlighted the importance of supporting farmers not only with materials, but also with training and market access.

Support from local communities

This project is supported through partnerships with:

Local farmers’ associations

Agricultural extension officers

Youth agricultural cooperatives

Community leaders and elders

Together, we:

Support smallholder farmers with improved seedlings, tools, and inputs

Offer training on modern and sustainable farming practices

Encourage youth to see agriculture as a valuable and honorable profession

Create linkages between farmers and reliable buyers and markets

This ensures ownership, collaboration, and long-term results.

End result

Our Agricultural Support Initiatives help to:

Increase crop yield and household income

Strengthen food security in the community

Reduce rural-to-urban migration by empowering local livelihoods

Protect the land through sustainable farming methods

Restore pride in farming as a respected cultural and economic heritage

When farmers thrive, the entire community thrives.
