See How Angel Adelaja Is Growing Plants With No Soil – And Little Water – In Shipping Containers

Published

on

Fresh Direct Nigeria

For better or worse, our world keeps evolving without our permission – and we keep scrambling to keep up, especially in the area of agriculture.

Sure, we’re producing more food than ever before, but our current model is unsustainable, and as the world’s population grows and climate change becomes more unforgiving, we will need a radical transformation to keep up.

A one-of-a-kind solution

This is where innovative new solutions like vertical farming – growing food in vertically stacked layers – and hydroponics – growing plants with no soil and little water – come into play.

 

Combining these two innovative solutions, Angel Adelaja has created a revolutionary stackable container farm, using shipping containers, that is the most affordable in the world – and just one container can do about an acre and a half of vegetable production.

Born out of the need to make urban farming accessible to everyone, Angel co-founded We Farm Africa, and founded Fresh Direct Produce and Agro-Allied Services, a social enterprise that has pioneered hydroponic agriculture in Nigeria.

Speaking with The Way Women Work about what inspired the containers, Angel said:

“When we started Fresh Direct, we realized that new technology could make the difference that African agriculture needed.

Unfortunately, we needed to import the technology and it was too expensive. So we decided to innovate and create our own technology from indigenous materials.”

Fresh Direct Nigeria has multiple active divisions, so they don’t just farm, they create low-tech affordable technologies, like the stackable container farm, to simplify agriculture in Nigeria – and eventually, the world.

Tolu Olumide, a young and inspiring business leader under 40, has written a new book. The book is titled “A GAPS Inspired Nutrition Guide“. Tolu is the cousin to Familusi Akin Babajide., CEO at UNDER40CEOs.

The book was launched at a special event and FAB.NG, a Nigerian media company, was there to see it happen live.

This book, “A GAPS Inspired Nutrition Guide” is essential for several reasons.

First, it takes a complete approach to health. It gives practical advice about food and nutrition. This advice can help manage and maybe even improve the health and behaviour of people with certain conditions. These conditions include autism, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, and allergies. It also covers other conditions that affect how people develop.

Second, the book is full of useful information. It shares ideas that are based on scientific evidence. This makes it a valuable resource for many people. Parents can use it to help their children. Caregivers can use it to support better the people they look after. Professionals who work with people who have these conditions can also learn a lot from this book.

Third, the book gives power to families. It provides clear steps that families can take. These steps can help create a healthier home environment. This environment can better support family members who have these conditions.

On sharing this information on his social media, Familusi expressed how very proud he is of Tolu. His caption read,

Familusi believes the book is something everyone should read.

He thinks it will be especially helpful for people who care for individuals with autism, ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, allergies, or other similar conditions.

At the end of the post, Familusi reiterated his pride in his cousin by saying, “Congratulations on this incredible achievement Tolu!’

Tolu has achieved something amazing by writing this book. It shows her dedication to helping others. She has used her knowledge and experience to create a resource that can make a real difference in people’s lives.

The launch of the book was a special moment. It was a chance to celebrate Tolu’s hard work and the potential impact of her book. Having FAB.NG there to witness the event adds to its significance. It shows that the book launch was an important event that attracted media attention.

The Nigerian star Davido shares his heart equally with three women: two baby mamas who gave birth to his daughters and his girlfriend Chioma.

It all started when a tweep named Obong Roviel shared his excitement over news that the musician was working with upcoming act, Lyta.

A proud and happy Davido then said on top of helping Lyta, he has made sure his watchman has cars and houses.
