Recognizing the gaps that young people face, YouthHubAfrica, with support from ActionAid last week, concluded the Youth Green Ventures Program, a three-day intensive agroecology training in Kabusa community in the FCT.
This training brought together 30 young people eager to learn about agroecology and sustainable farming practices.
The facilitator, Dr. Abdullahi Baba from the FCT Agricultural Development Program, who mentored the participants, trained them in the preparation of compost fertilizer, manure production, and preparation of organic insecticides.
The sessions were not only educational but also highly practical, providing the participants with hands-on experience in sustainable agriculture.
At the end of the training, pumpkin seeds were distributed to all the participants. They eagerly awaited to start their own crops and thanked the organizers for conducting such an intensive training. With new skills and seeds on their hands, these young men and women are now well-set to put into practice to feed the nation.
This initiative is a critical step in addressing food insecurity and unemployment while promoting environmentally friendly farming practices. We can’t wait to see their farms grow and thrive, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future- By YouthHubAfrica!
