With their newfound knowledge and access to quality seedlings, they are well-equipped to embrace sustainable farming practices that will benefit not just their families, but the entire region.
By promoting regenerative agricultural techniques and ensuring that farmers have the tools they need to succeed, Agric Eco Resources Foundation is playing a vital role in shaping the future of agriculture in Bayelsa State. This program is a stepping stone toward achieving food security, reducing poverty, and restoring environmental balance in the region.
The Bayelsa chapter of our Capacity Building and Empowerment Program is more than just an agricultural initiative—it’s a movement toward sustainable development, environmental conservation, and community empowerment. As we continue our work in Bayelsa and other states, we remain committed to supporting smallholder farmers with the resources, training, and support they need to thrive.
