🌾 Project Update: At the NUTCAT Post-Harvest Stakeholder Workshop in Tamale, Ghana, experts gathered to assess our progress on improving maize productivity through precision nutrient management. The event showcased the success of optimized nutrient treatments over traditional farming practices, revealing significant yield improvements across several districts. 📈 👉 Despite promising results, we also identified financial and environmental challenges, such as limited access to inputs and erratic rainfall. Addressing these issues, along with enhancing farmer education and inclusivity, is crucial for sustainable agricultural development in the region. 🤜 Together, we’re committed to a resilient and prosperous future for Ghanaian agriculture. 🌍 #ghana #agriculture #agricultural #ghanaagriculture #maize #tamaleghana

Reclaiming Uncultivated Land: A Game-Changer for Africa's Food Security As we have kicked off the 2024 Wet Season, we are excited to share an inspiring story from the frontlines of agricultural innovation in Africa. Did you know that 65% of the world's uncultivated arable land is in Africa? It's a staggering statistic that highlights the immense potential for growth and self-sufficiency on our continent. But here's the good news: with the right approach, Africa can not only feed itself but also become a net exporter of food to the world. And that's exactly what we're achieving at Farm4Me, a farm management and consulting service dedicated to reclaiming uncultivated land and transforming it into thriving agricultural hubs. Take a look at this incredible example from Fufore LGA of Adamawa State, North Eastern, Nigeria. Our team has cleared and prepared almost 20 hectares of previously uncultivated land, making it suitable for maize and soya bean farming. But it's not just about the land – it's about the people. At Farm4Me, we believe that everyone deserves access to nutritious food, and that's why we're committed to empowering local farmers and communities to take control of their food systems. By partnering with us, you're not just investing in a farm – you're investing in a brighter future for Africa. And that's why we're grateful for the trust you've placed in us to farm for you. Together, let's build an Africa that feeds itself and the world. Join us on this journey and let's reclaim uncultivated land, one farm at a time! . . . #Farm4Me #ReclaimingUncultivatedLand #AgriculturalInnovation #FoodSecurity #AfricaRising RiceAfrika Rwanda RiceAfrika TZ Ibrahim Maigari

“I believe this approach will be a real game-changer for the many famers in the SSA who still rely on rain-fed agriculture and thus need reliable fertiliser for their farms.” - Graeme Rust, CEO of the Kenya Nut Company Ltd. Thanks to Farmers Review Africa for profiling Talus and its #sustainable #local #greenammonia solution that is helping to boost agricultural output and combat #foodinsecurity in Sub-Saharan Africa. Partnering with KNC, Talus is pioneering a new, zero-carbon approach to producing a critical chemical that helps #feedtheworld, while eliminating a dirty, expensive, and unpredictable supply chain. “Besides climate change which is a serious problem to the agricultural sector globally and especially to the African farmer, accessing safe and affordable fertiliser in time for production has also been another impediment as the bulk of the product is shipped from outside the continent," - Hiro Iwanaga, Talus co-founder and CEO.

Opportunities in emerging markets | Kenya case The market for fish farming in East Africa, although in its infancy in 2012, held great promise for growth. To serve the needs of the sector and avoid import challenges, Nutreco’s ambition was to establish a local production facility in Kenya. This would allow the company to serve Kenya and the wider region from a central production hub within the East African Community (EAC). With a business case heavily dependent on utilisation rate, the team was required to think out of the box. Larive recommended a unique holistic approach which required developing the aquaculture value chain in its entirety.

Canola Farming in South Africa: A Bright Future in Yellow Fields 🌾 South Africa's agricultural landscape is rich and diverse, with canola standing out as a vibrant contributor to our economy and environment. These stunning yellow fields, stretching across the Western Cape, are more than just a beautiful sight—they represent a sustainable future. Canola, known for its high oil content and versatile use in food and industry, is a crop that benefits farmers and consumers alike. The plant's deep roots improve soil health, reducing erosion and promoting biodiversity. Farmers across the country are adopting innovative techniques to increase yields and ensure sustainable practices, making canola a cornerstone of our agricultural output. As global demand for healthier, plant-based oils continues to rise, South Africa's canola industry is poised for growth, offering economic opportunities and contributing to food security. Let's celebrate the hard work of our farmers and the bright potential of canola in our agricultural future! 🌍💛 #Agriculture #Canola #Sustainability #SouthAfrica #FarmingInnovation

THRIVEAGRIC, ACORN-RABOBANK PARTNER TO SUPPORT OVER 30,000 SMALLHOLDER FARMERS WITH CARBON CREDIT ACCESS Nigerian Agritech company ThriveAgric has announced a major new partnership with Acorn-Rabobank to empower over 30,000 small-scale farmers with carbon credit access in nine Nigerian states. Speaking about the unveiling, Uka Eje, CEO of ThriveAgric, emphasised the importance. “Through partnerships like the one forged with Acorn – Rabobank, we are confident in our ability to drive positive change and create lasting impact in the lives of smallholder farmers across Nigeria.” WHY THE PARTNERSHIP? The carbon credit market was valued at USD 103 billion in October 2023 and is projected to experience an average yearly growth rate of 14.8% through 2032. Despite this global market and Africa’s vast potential for generating carbon credits due to its rich natural resources, the continent currently contributes only 2% of its capacity. For those unaware, carbon credits are reward systems for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. These credits are typically generated through improved farming practices or forest conservation. When an individual or company buys a carbon credit, they’re essentially supporting these emission-reduction projects. The carbon market is such a big market that we believe African farmers shouldn’t be left behind,” emphasised Ayo Arikwe, Chief Technology Officer at Thrive Agric. While there is a specialised market where carbon credits are traded with opportunities for farmers globally to earn extra income, participation for low-income countries, especially in Africa, has been difficult. THE GOAL The program targets smallholder farmers in nine Nigerian states: Kaduna, Gombe, Adamawa, Taraba, Bauchi, Jigawa, Niger, Nassarawa, and Kano. These farmers will have the chance to earn additional income through carbon credits, according to Samirah Bello, Head of Partnerships at ThriveAgric. Moreover, the project offers several advantages beyond carbon credits. It will promote healthier soil, biodiversity, and economic growth in local communities. Additionally, the collaboration is expected to capture 1.3 million Metric Tons of Carbon Removal Units (CRUs) and generate over $50 million in revenue from carbon credits.
