Lagos, Nigeria – October 1, 2024: Foodfort Company Ltd, a dynamic agricultural enterprise committed to advancing sustainable farming practices, is excited to announce its plans to acquire two acres of land – one in Nigeria and one in Angola. This strategic move will lay the foundation for Foodfort’s future development, where cutting-edge smart agriculture technologies, including hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics, will be employed to enhance the cultivation and harvest of farm produce.
The proposed land acquisition will not only increase Foodfort’s capacity to produce fresh, healthy, and sustainable food, but will also serve as a field training centre for agribusiness entrepreneurs, farmers, and others who are eager to learn about the latest innovations in agriculture. The initiative is expected to empower the next generation of agricultural leaders and farmers by equipping them with the tools and knowledge needed to thrive in the modern agricultural landscape.
“This is a special moment for the continent of Africa,” said Mr. Miguel Peters, CEO of Foodfort and President of the African Circular Business Alliance (ACBA). “Our planned acquisition of these lands marks a critical step toward utilizing smart agriculture techniques and technologies to boost food security. Once completed, these farms will not only support local food production but will also create jobs and empower agribusiness entrepreneurs with the resources they need to succeed.”
Smart Agriculture for a Sustainable Future
Foodfort’s planned acquisition underscores its commitment to adopting smart agriculture technologies, which are essential for addressing the challenges of food security and sustainability in Africa. These technologies—hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics—offer numerous advantages, including reduced water usage, higher yields, and the ability to grow crops in environments where traditional farming is difficult.
Empowering Farmers Through Training and Education
As part of Foodfort’s future vision, the acquired land will also become a training hub for farmers and agribusiness entrepreneurs. The field training centres will offer hands-on experience in smart agriculture practices, empowering participants to adopt innovative methods that improve productivity while reducing environmental impact.
Foodfort anticipates that these centres will train hundreds of farmers annually, creating a ripple effect that enhances agricultural practices across Africa. This initiative aligns with the company’s long-term goal of fostering sustainable agriculture and contributing to food security on the continent.
A Vision for African Agriculture
The planned acquisition of land in Nigeria and Angola represents a key part of Foodfort’s strategy to expand its operations, promote sustainable agriculture, and boost local food production. As demand for fresh and nutritious produce continues to grow, Foodfort is preparing to meet these needs while leveraging advanced technologies to minimize its environmental impact.
“Our vision is to create sustainable agricultural systems that not only provide food but also create jobs and improve livelihoods across Africa,” added Mr. Peters. “This planned acquisition is just the beginning of an exciting journey toward achieving that vision.”
