I Turned 100 Ridges into a Small Yam Harvest in Abuja
I started a small yam-farming experiment on an unused piece of land near my home in FHA Lugbe, Abuja. After paying to have 100 ridges made, I bought yam seedlings at Gosa Market and planted them. The harvest has been a rewarding result, and I may not need to buy yam for a while. Next year, I hope to expand the project to include beans and sweet potatoes. There are other unused plots around my area that could also be put to productive use. Small-scale farming can help provide food and income, but insecurity remains a serious concern for farmers in some parts of Nigeria. With safer conditions and the right support, more people could make productive use of available land.
