Akwa Ibom state in Nigeria is establishing itself as a hotspot for leveraging digital innovation to support agriculture sector growth.

This comes about through the launch of the Nigeria Climate-Smart Village Programme (CSV-P).

The partnership includes AgroGreen Dynamics (AFCSN), the Federation of Agricultural Commodity Associations of Nigeria (FACAN), and the Nigeria Agribusiness and Agro-Industry Development Initiative (NAADI).

"The CSV-P model demonstrates that sustainable agriculture is not only possible, but also profitable, scalable, and measurable," stated AgroGreen's Director of Operations, Earl Edison.

The CSV-P approach, developed in collaboration with FACAN, NAADI, and global input innovators like as HGS Bioscience, combines science, data, and community engagement to regenerate farmlands and enhance lives.

CSV-P, with its digital monitoring, reporting, and verification dashboard and cooperative governance framework, generates reliable data streams for carbon credit markets and international climate funding, furthering Nigeria's contribution to global emission-reduction obligations.

AgroGreen wants to develop 250 CSVs by 2030, spanning over 25,000 hectares of farmland and providing 50,000 green jobs across Nigeria.

"Our mission is to build profitable farms that heal the land, empower communities, and deliver quality produce to local and global markets,” Edison said.
