The Lagos State Government in a renewed call has urged residents to embrace the practice of urban farming as one of the ways to attain food sufficiency. This is regarded as part of the efforts aimed at boosting food security and increasing access to affordable fresh food in the state.
The call was made by the Lagos State Commissioner for Agriculture, Ms Abisola Olusanya, while speaking at the official launch of Urban Agriculture organised by the Lagos State Agricultural Development Authority (LSADA), held at the Agency’s Training Centre in Oko-Oba, Agege.
Olusanya, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry said that the launch is aimed at educating Lagos residents on how to practice urban farming despite the challenge of limited landmass being faced in different parts of the State.
