Governor Soludo Flags Off 2022 Farming Season, Introduces Re-generative Agriculture

In his speech, the Commissioner for Agriculture, Dr Foster Ihejiofor harped on the governor's commitment to not just agriculture but the well-being of Ndi Anambra, stating that they will work with Anambra farmers, to systematically migrate from chemical-based conventional farming to regenerative biologically-driven farming.

Dr Ihejiofor stressed that to drive the process, they created Sustainable Agriculture Task Team (SATT), to download and domesticate best farming practices for Anambra, stressing that when fully implemented, it will drastically curtail the cost of farm inputs, thereby increasing the wealth of Anambra farmers, while lowering the cost of food for all.

The theme of the event is 'Empowering Women and Youth through Regenerative Agriculture for Sustainable Development'.
