Doing the right things in Agriculture: The Agrihome example

Agrihome Expressions is an agricultural company with the vision to become a leader in good food production, through a wholistic approach to agriculture.

• Protecting the environment and adopting sustainable technologies

Commercialization of agriculture has placed profit making over the environment and deteriorating it for the cash profits when in fact you can achieve both. Agriculture supports human through the provision of shelter, food and others. However, certain practices in agriculture seem to compromise our natural environment on which agriculture should thrive. Slashing and burning of fields, abusive use of chemicals, destruction of soil structure are a few we can mention.

Agrihome respects our natural environment and we do well to protect it, with no disturbance to the environment. Conservation agriculture is one technology we practice and recommend. Our practices will have a positive impact on the current trends of climate change.

• Producing healthy food for consumption

This point cannot be overemphasised. Healthy food is medicine to the body as it is said. Anything below that standard could be poisonous to the body in the short and long term. The quality of food could easily be compromised along the production line especially with the abusive use of chemicals and poor handling.

At Agrihome, our food production standards are adhered to from planning to post-harvest.

• Efficient management of farms

Farms that lack proper management may perform poorly when it comes to yield. They tend to spend more on production. Efficiency in the management of farms will make the farmer attain optimum production levels whiles keeping customers satisfied with good produce. This is one area Agrihome is well vested in. We aim at increasing food production and making good food affordable and available. We help in farm management and also help revamp farms that are almost dead. Efficiency also requires making the best of farmlands.

• Reviving youths’ interests in agriculture

Agriculture in Africa has become so unattractive to the youth, the future of every society. The youth finds not much interest in agriculture though they acknowledge its profitability. They say it is tidious. More so, funds for agriculture are quite difficult to come by discouraging a lot of youth from the sector even those with formal education in the field.

Agrihome sets out to create an opportunity for most youth to be interested in agriculture. This is done through our organised farming projects with the youth, farm trips. We also enginered the formation and partnership with Satellite Farmers group. The group pulls resources to start farms. This group is coming up as one of the strong forces in food production. The group comprises youth, who have grown an interest in agriculture and are farmers through Agrihome.
