The
issue
According
to
the
World
Bank,
“The
world
needs
to
produce
at
least
50%
more
food
to
feed
9
billion
people
by
2050.
But
climate
change
could
cut
crop
yields
by
more
than
25%.
The
land,
biodiversity,
oceans,
forests,
and
other
forms
of
natural
capital
are
being
depleted
at
unprecedented
rates.
Unless
we
change
how
we
grow
our
food
and
manage
our
natural
capital,
food
security—
especially
for
the
world’s
poorest—will
be
at
risk.”

Aeroponics
technique
has
the
following
crucial
benefits:
● Faster
and
healthier
growth
since
it
has
enough
oxygen
(in
the
root
region)
● Increased
harvest
rate.
45
–
70%
faster
than
conventional
agricultural
techniques.
● Studies
has
shown
that
plants
grown
via
the
aeroponic
system
have
an
increase
in
flavonoids
What
are
flavonoids?
Flavonoids
are
one
of
the
largest
nutrient
families
known
to
scientists,
and
include
over
6,000
already-­‐identified
family
members
The
unique
nutrient
richness
of
every
whole,
natural
food
can
be
showcased
in
a
variety
of
ways,
but
there
is
no
better
way
to
highlight
the
unique
nutrient
richness
of
foods
than
to
focus
on
their
flavonoid
content!
The
system
ensures
you
can
grow
your
own
plants
anywhere;
whether
it
be
inside
your
kitchen
or
garden
space.
You
can
have
a
cherry
tomatoes
plant
in
the
parlour
for
both
ornamental
purpose
and
nutritional
value.
Thanks
to
aeroponics
system,
we
can
increase
our
life
span
and
improve
our
health,
thus
giving
us
a
better
quality
of
life.

Strategic
thinking
• In
1961,
Nigeria
controlled
42%
of
the
global
groundnut
market,
27%
of
the
palm
oil
market,
18%
of
the
cocoa
market,
and
1.4%
of
the
cotton
market.
Today,
Nigeria
is
a
net
importer
of
these
produce.
• Nigeria
has
lost
its
dominance
to
the
likes
of
China,
USA,
Indonesia,
Argentina,
Ghana,
and
Cote
d-­‐Ivoire
due
to:
– Lack
of
marketing
organization
linking
farmers
to
markets
– Inadequate
form
of
planting
materials,
fertilizers,
credit
and
rural
infrastructure
Implementing
a
Strategy
for
Growth
• Private
sector
leadership
-­‐
In
Kenya,
initiatives
driven
by
the
private
sector
propelled
it
to
the
world’s
number
one
horticulture
market
and
created
eight
million
jobs.
• Supportive
fiscal
policies
-­‐
Countries
such
as
Malawi,
China,
Vietnam,
Brazil,
and
Thailand
became
self-­‐sufficient
in
food
production
within
years
of
transforming
their
agricultural
sectors,
through
national
input
support
programs
focused
on
small
holder
farmers.
• Infrastructure
investments
• Market
information

Lending institutions in Nigeria traditionally tend to be risk averse when it comes to lending to the
agriculture sector. Financial institutions find it challenging to lend to the agricultural sector due to
the following reasons:
● Inconsistent weather patterns
● Crop disease
● Fluctuating yield
● Maximum yield is not attainable due to traditional agriculture methods; cultivation of crops is
limited to the ground.
● Fluctuating market prices
Aeroponics is not dependent on weather and seasons, you can grow all year round. Due to the
controlled and enclosed environment the risk of diseases is mitigated alongside accurate yield
predictions, therefore financial institutions can build proper projects and dole out capital.
