Nigeria, a nation rich in agricultural potential, grapples with a paradox: millions face acute hunger, yet staggering amounts of food are lost after they are harvested. This post-harvest loss (PHL) acts as a silent saboteur, undermining the efforts of hardworking smallholder farmers and deepening food insecurity. The World Food Programme (WFP) highlights that 30.6 million people in Nigeria face acute food insecurity, a crisis fuelled by...

Their studies reveal that treating soil with organic fertilizers like manure or compost significantly increases its capacity to store carbon, outperforming chemical fertilizers or no treatment at all.

Paperwork, taxes, "big government"... it all sounds like a hassle. But think of formalisation not as a cost, but as an essential...

At AyosifamHub, we champion a sustainable, low-risk approach. The wisest...
