Blog description:
Through The Farmland, young Nigerians can share pictures, support one another, pose questions to the larger community, share comments, insights, articles and opinion pieces. As they share information on their work and entrepreneurial prospects, they can become featured as AgriPreneurs or Sowers.In addition, school authorities, farmers and other Nigerians can
carve a niche on the Agri-Opps section and work to respectively educate, inform, and benefit the larger Nigerian community.
Businesspeople and policy makers can also use the website to share information about policy and market updates and opportunities for investment and capacity building while connecting with farmers, young people and rising entrepreneurs. In addition, Nigerian citizens -especially as consumers- can share, with the general public, their experiences and knowledge as these relate to agriculture, consumption and capacity-building.
The Farmland is about team work and idea exchange as well as open spaces for collective growth and empowerment. It is our hope that by bringing together youths, farmers, businessmen, school authorities, citizens and policy makers- to join in the bountiful harvest, we will lead Nigeria into its much-awaited agricultural revolution.

Organization profile:
Harambe Nigeria is a non-profit organization dedicated to revolutionizing the way Nigerian youth engage with the agricultural sector by nurturing them into agricultural entrepreneurs and leaders. It is run by passionate young passionate Nigerians in Nigeria and the Diaspora. With the United Nations population division estimating that 62% of Nigeria’s population is below 24 years of age, it is critical that, as a country, Nigeria must continually implement sustainable and strategic ways of engaging and preparing its youth for leadership roles to support its economic development.
With the Nigerian economy seemingly becoming more reliant on the oil sector as the primary source of national income, the agricultural sector has suffered neglect in spite of the fact that about 70% of the population depend on it for their livelihood. Once a large exporter of food and agricultural products, Nigeria now imports food to meet the domestic demands of its predominantly young and rapidly growing population.
As a way to address these challenges, Harambe Nigeria was launched against the backdrop of the critical role agriculture must play in the sustainable economic development of Nigeria in the long-run and the opportunities this sector provides to tap into the idealism, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of young and enterprising Nigerians – at home and in the Diaspora.
Mission:
To revolutionize the way Nigerian youth engage with the agricultural sector by nurturing them into agricultural entrepreneurs and leaders. We believe that the transformation of this comatose sector in its entirety is the key to rejuvenating it and thus diversifying and strengthening the Nigerian economy.
Vision:
To create a new cadre of young Nigerian professionals, entrepreneurs and leaders who can affect change along the entire agricultural value chain, starting from farming and going all the way up to agro policy.

Harambe Nigeria and The Farmland website are both spectacular! Those who follow the economic situation on the ground know very well that agriculture is by far the most underdeveloped area of promise in Nigeria. Transforming agriculture from a subsistence endeavor to an industrial enterprise is the key to Nigeria's success.
The Farmland, with its multi-faceted approach (the website discusses agriculture and agribusiness news, Nigerian laws and other policies that relate to the field (pun intended), statistics, and entrepreneurship), is a one-of-a-kind resource, and I believe they are doing incredibly unique and critically necessary work. No website like The Farmland exists for the Nigerian e-market, and no organization like Harambe Nigeria exists in the country at all.
It is my sincere hope, as a Nigerian who wishes to see this current generation of youths change the course of the nation, that the work Harambe Nigeria is doing through The Farmland (among other Harambe Nigeria initiatives) will receive the financial, social, and political support that it needs in order to expand its impact on Nigerian agriculture and the nation as a whole!

I have yet to see another youth agricultural blog in Nigeria which not only provides news on agricultural trends but features aspiring and established entrepreneurs, presents agricultural facts, showcases training and leadership opportunities and so much more while marrying these with field work- working with farmers, training aspiring entrepreneurs and providing scholarships to young agricultural students.
I have received a proper agricultural education on the internet thanks to this initiative and I'm more determined than ever to power economic opportunity and drive development in this sector.
Keep it up, Harambe Farmland! Food is life!

Harambe Nigeria is a refreshing reminder of how agriculture can truly cultivate a thriving economy in Nigeria. With everything from interviews, contest, and conveying stories Harambe Nigeria is a great space to learn about agriculture trends in Africa
