In a bid to ensure agricultural revitalization and boost food production within its immediate environment, the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (FUNAAB) has entered a partnership with Auxano Farms to establish a 500-hectare Farm Estate within the University campus.
The collaboration is targeted towards addressing food security challenges in the country.
The University has surpassed the mandate of Teaching, Research, and Exension Services by partnering with Auxano Farms to cultivate a variety of crops like maize, cassava, pepper, tomatoes, and oil palm. This would address the challenges of limited production capacities, also incorporating the processing of harvested produce to ensure sustainability and food security.
To bridge the gap between producers and consumers, the project would make available a One-Stop Shop where consumers can purchase fresh farm produce directly.
Beyond fostering food security within the communty, the collaboration between FUNAAB and Auxano Farms, would create employment opportunities, leading to the soco-economic development of the nation.
