The Soilless Farm Lab has become a model for sustainable farming in Nigeria, utilizing hydroponics and aeroponics to cultivate crops without soil, innovations that prompted Obasanjo’s visit. This cutting-edge approach involves growing plants in nutrient-rich water or air-based systems, significantly enhancing efficiency while ensuring healthier and faster-growing produce.
The farm specializes in the cultivation of export-quality vegetables, including Ugu (pumpkin leaves), Shoko, Tete (green amaranth), Ewedu (jute leaves), Bitterleaf, and Habanero peppers. Each crop is meticulously nurtured to meet international standards, positioning them for both local markets and global export.
