The ENABLE TAAT project, an initiative of African Development Bank Group #TAAT Programme is bridging the gap between #traditional farming practices and modern technology to empower Africa’s #youth in agriculture. In #Sierra Leone, the project extends new #technologies to young people and builds their skills in #entrepreneurship, business management, and #business plan development. The impact assessment, based on a comprehensive survey of beneficiaries, shows a newfound sense of purpose and empowerment, with the vast majority of young people citing the #training as a key #catalyst for positive change. The training has resulted in a significant increase in understanding of entrepreneurship, business management, marketing strategies, and the operation of agribusiness parks, cluster farming, and cooperatives. A remarkable 97% of beneficiaries acknowledged the relevance and necessity of the comprehensive training package, affirming its pivotal role in shaping their #mindset. As Sierra Leone embraces a more prosperous future, empowered by the #ENABLETAAT project, we invite you to join the movement and become a #catalystforchange.

I remain Barovwe Daniella Omoweh, a graduate of Agricultural science with a goal to contribute to the agricultural sector through climate smart practices. . After graduation for a number of years, agriculture is still being looked down on when you present your certificate for a job interview. Why?🤔 Most think it should be the last course to be studied. Others are of the mentality that anyone can be a "farmer". . Me? I do not agree!😶 I believe it takes a certain tenacity to survive as a farmer. To be responsible for the survival of multiple lives at once; be it plants or those birds or fishes you just purchased with your hard earned kudi. Not to talk of human lives that NEED these foods to survive! Once it doesn't do well, the entire project might collapse. 𝙏𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝘽𝙄𝙂 𝙎𝙃𝙊𝙀𝙎 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙡. So, no. Not everyone can be a "farmer" . And agriculture involves more than field work. To discover these alluring aspects, join me on my MAP's (Mentorship Accelerator Programme) journey! It is a great privilege to be among the mentees for the accelerator programme with Adekemi Adeoye at Future Forward Farmers Hub My goal is to become equipped, through this programme, to rise to the challenges affecting the agriculture sector in Nigeria. By learning the intersection between production and climate smart practices for a more resilient result with less environmental issues. The more the youths join hands to reinvent agriculture, the desirable it will become for investors and future farmers ensuring a sustainable agricultural field that meets global standards. It has been a rewarding journey so far with alot learnt from the classes and assignments submitted. . Question: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿? . .

AFRICA PROJECTS DEVELOPMENT CENTRE CELEBRATES CHILDREN'S DAY, SAYING THERE'S HOPE IN THE AGRO SECTOR AS FAR AS THIS CHILDREN ARE CONCERNED. Under APDC's Start Them Young (STY) Programme, which targets children between 3 to 15 years of age, the Centre has hosted over 100 kids, introducing them to the beauty and importance of Urban Agriculture and other Smart Farming Systems. The belief driving this initiative is that it's possible to nurture the next generation of food makers, regardless of their chosen career paths. If every household has a farmer or owns a garden, we can create a path towards: 1. Reducing carbon footprints associated with farming logistics. 2. Minimizing post-harvest losses due to infrastructural deficits. 3. Mitigating inflation shocks linked to economic and seasonal fluctuations. 4. Enhancing food security and addressing related challenges. Fostering an early interest and understanding in sustainable farming practices in the STY Programme aims to build a resilient and self-sufficient future.🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌽🌽🌽🌽🌽🤜

🌱 The Power of Passionate, Firm Training at UrbanFarm Africa 🌱 At UrbanFarm Africa, our training is about more than just skills—it’s about transforming mindsets with a passionate yet firm approach. Whether we’re working with experienced or new farmers, we ensure that the practical skills taught are implemented for long-term success. Here’s why our approach is effective: Hands-On, Direct Experience: We involve trainees in every aspect, from broiler production to hydroponics, building their confidence to apply these methods on their farms. Emphasis on Responsibility: Success in farming requires accountability. We teach farmers to take ownership of their outcomes, empowering them to run their farms sustainably and profitably. Firm but Supportive: Farming is tough, so our training prepares farmers with the resilience and discipline they need to succeed, while providing a supportive environment. Entrepreneurial Focus: We teach farmers to think like business owners—planning ahead, making informed decisions, and treating farming as a sustainable business. Our approach ensures that farmers leave our programs ready to create sustainable livelihoods and impact their communities. #WomenEmpowerment #AgricultureTraining #SustainableFarming #Entrepreneurship #UrbanFarmAfrica #HydroCoop #FarmManagement #Accountability #SocialImpact

The Integrated Agricultural Training Site (SIFA) is more than just a training initiative; it is a pathway to local empowerment. In a country facing challenges like rural exodus, clandestine migration, and the impacts of climate change, SIFA stands as a beacon of hope. Every year, thousands of young people leave Senegal, seeking better opportunities elsewhere, leaving behind struggling families and communities. Climate change further exacerbates these challenges, with more frequent droughts and floods affecting agriculture and food security. In response, SIFA provides professional training in sustainable agricultural practices, aiming to strengthen the resilience of youth against these challenges. Since 2022, 735 young people, including 54% women, have benefited from the training. The SIFA embodies a model of sustainable agriculture by training the future farmers while preserving natural resources. Thanks to its innovative approach and exemplary practices, it contributes to the emergence of a more environmentally friendly and socially equitable agriculture. By offering agricultural employment opportunities to young people, it also reduces their dependence on economic emigration and contributes to strengthening the local communities and economy. The SIFAs are integrated into existing projects funded by the Liechtenstein Development Service, the Hirschmann Foundation and Augmentum. The projects are part of Swisscontact's Development Programme, co-financed by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). #Senegal #Empowerment #SustainableAgriculture https://bit.ly/4aWpO8q
