WHAT THE PROJECT WILL DO The main focus of this project will be to transform the agricultural sector (Crops, livestock & fisheries) towards higher productivity, commercialization level and increase smallholder farmer income for improved livelihood and guarantee food and nutrition security in order to provide capital to young people to invest in sustainable agricultural practices. The project starts with poultry farming. A feed processing unit will be built wherein the maize and the soya beans cultivated will be used to process chicken feed. Other crops will be sold to buy other feed requirements. The droppings collected will be use for both organic farming and market gardening. This will help them improve farming systems, new varieties of crops and animals, and commercialize their production as well as establish and manage farm business It will also empower them through capacity building eventually creating an enabling environment for them to start large scale farming and also to diversify production into areas that are economically more feasible. They will equally be able to market their produce conveniently. They shall no longer feel the effects of price fluctuations since they shall be able to buy own produce and sell later when price stabilizes. It shall also help improve on their farm yields and income and assist them attain food sufficiency a much-desired goal for Food security It shall create employment opportunities for them and the community at large given the diversity of activities involved and eventually improves the health and quality of life. Practice organic farming thereby reducing over dependence on the more expensive inorganic fertilizers It will empower young girls in the area of their academic careers since one of our objectives is encouraging empowerment through knowledge. PROJECT FOCUS Since the ultimate goal of this project is to transform the agricultural sector (Crops, livestock & fisheries) towards higher productivity, commercialization level and increase smallholder farmer income for improved livelihood and guarantee food and nutrition security., we hope to make capital available to these youths (male and female) and also train them on proper farming methods. This will improve production, income levels and living conditions of the families. It will also ensure that they adopt sustainable agricultural practices which will eventually save them the time and energy of travelling to distant places in search of more productive agricultural land. In short, helping 200 youths means helping 200 families and the wider community. POTENTIAL LONG-TERM IMPACT Young people have the capacity to lead and build and of recent, those of them who have been given the opportunity to invest in sustainable agricultural practices have been able to rescue whole families from hunger and poverty. Empowering them thus will have the long term impact of improving food security and reducing poverty by about 75% in rural communities and bringing some ½ a billion people out of hunger and starvation. SUSTAINABILITY The scope of this project extends beyond the anticipated timeline. After the first phase of this project, we shall launch similar projects to make sure that the project continues to have an impact on the lives of youths,their families and the wider community. We have put up a competent agricultural resource structure enterprise tasked with business study, market research, business creation and operation to manage the project and make sure the overall goals objectives are attained.
