How Soil Could Be An Untapped Source Of Electricity

The Accelerating the Adoption of Agroforestry Project currently works with 24 community groups with a total of 600 members in Kericho and Kisumu counties in Kenya. 144 lead-farmers were trained in self-selected and context-specific climate-smart practices, including agroforestry, horticulture, coffee farming, poultry keeping and livestock keeping. Through farmer to farmer extension, the project reaches thousands of households in the project area and beyond.

Agro processing in Nigeria involves adding value to Nigeria agricultural produce. Value-added agriculture generates several billions in economic impact of a country. In fact, adding value to agricultural products beyond the farm gate usually has several times the economic impact of the agricultural production alone.
Agricultural producers receive a much smaller portion of the consumer’s naira than do food processors, especially processors who produce brand name items. Capturing those additional naira by adding value to farm or ranch products is a goal of many producers.
Agro processing in Nigeria today can act as a catalyst towards starting or commencing your own value added business. Visit www.exportbusiness.com for more information

▶▶ SUPPORT IDEAS FOR UGANDA - https://ideasforus.org/uganda


It is estimated that by 2030 nearly 50% of the world's population may live in urban areas. Consequently, many millions of acres of productive farmland are expected to be lost to housing and industrial usage. In Uganda, the lack of appropriate farmland, low incomes, unemployment, and natural disasters have resulted in very poor food security. This makes the country’s chances of halving poverty and hunger by 2030 very slim. Uganda and other African countries need to increase agricultural productivity in a sustainable manner through innovative approaches, particularly in dense urban areas.

On top of this, Kampala is facing a major issue with urban waste management, where nearly 28,000 tons of waste are delivered to city landfills each month. However, according to the Kampala Capital City Authority, this represents only 40% of the waste generated in the city. The rest ends up in unauthorized sites. Often on city streets and in dense urban areas, causing significant environmental and human health problems.

So in 2014, a group of students at the Makerere University chapter of IDEAS For Uganda, led by Mr. Paul Matovu, developed an innovative approach to urban micro-gardening and integrated waste management in Kampala, a social enterprise called “Vertical Micro-Gardening” (VMG), the first of its kind in Uganda.
