The Foundation’s primary mission is to train young farmers in modern agricultural techniques, aligning with the government’s focus on self-sufficiency in food production. It has set up nine schools in Nigeria and Ghana specializing in innovative farming methods, with graduates returning to their communities to share their knowledge and promote sustainable agriculture. Additionally, the Foundation engages in conservation efforts and supports vocational training, aiming to enhance agricultural education and sustainable development in the West African region.
