UNBELIEVABLE! This Nigerian Farmer Is Called A 'Sorcerer' Because He Grows Crops On The Air [VIDEO]
Sep 25, 2020
Despite its heavy dependence on the oil industry, Nigeria is still principally an agricultural society.
Seventy percent of Nigeria’s over 200 million population engages in agricultural production, but at subsistence level.
According to Nations Encyclopedia, over 30 million hectares of farmlands are cultivated every season in Nigeria, a substantial shortfall of the estimated 78.5 million hectares of land required for farming to feed the growing population.
This is where Samson Ogbole’s innovation comes handy – soilless farming, using the unconventional method of farming that involves growing crops in the air known as aeroponics.
It’s the process of growing plants in the air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium.
Ogbole began the soilless farming in 2014 and two years later founded the company, PS Nutraceuticals to implement the cutting edge agricultural technologies.
Soilless growing entails removing the soil component, bringing in substitutes, and applying fertilizer to enable the plants to grow,” Ogbole says.
