Something y'all can benefit from is coming up this year by the Grace of God. Watch this space please.

Bell peppers are a wonderful combination of a tangy, sweet tasting and crunchy textured vegetable. They come in a wide array of colours ranging from green, red, yellow, orange, purple, brown, and even black! And, believe it or not, all these colours derive from the same plant known scientifically as Capsicum annuum.

These are cluster tomatoes grown hydroponically. You'd certainly want some, wouldn't you?

With technology, farming is made easier.

With solar power, farms can generate sufficient electricity that will help power technology-driven farms today, increase productivity and reduce labour stress.

Solar agriculture advanced farming.

This kind of farming is what the world needs.

Size of food and agriculture will rise to $1tr by 2030 — Adesina

President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Akinwumi Adesina has disclosed that the size of food and agriculture in Africa will rise to $1tr by 2030.
He said the population of Africa, which stands at 1.2 billion, would double to 2.5 billion by 2050, adding that it is only through food and agribusiness that the feat can be achieved.

Adesina who disclosed this at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB), while being conferred with an honorary doctorate degree, in honour of his work in agriculture and food security across the continent, commended the Federal Government’s efforts to promote agriculture and agribusiness in the country.

While pledging to continue the work of transforming Nigeria’s agriculture sector, Adesina, described agriculture as the most important profession and business in the world.

Adesina said the African Development Bank was spearheading efforts to feed Africa and has invested $25 billion in 10 years to transform the agricultural sector.

“I am delighted to see so many of our young people engaged in agriculture arising from the Youth Employment in Agriculture initiative launched when I was minister. From their innovations in the use of drones, food processing, packaging, transport and logistics, and marketing, they are already unlocking the opportunities in agriculture,” he said.

He urged agricultural universities to optimise their role in linking research, innovations, and technologies to farmers and the food and agriculture industry.

Soiless farming has great potential for optimising plant growth and yield, space management, and significant reduction of farm running cost; it may be the future of crop farming in areas where land is scarce and nutrient stripped.

And the result was green! W**d free and money! However small. The guys did a great job! They're great at finishing (well) whatever they started.
