modelling and simulation farm lectures

...the Rural Employment Promotion Department of the NDE has developed a new modular training technique ahead of her RADTS, CFTP, & REMIS 2016 projects highlighting a comprehensive, practical and technology type skills development training for her grassroot farmers with complete farm business models and simulation techniques!

if the gap between the extremely rich and the poor is to be closed, then developmental projects focused mainly on economy and social behaviour be developed and updated to meet the " 4th Industrial revolution"! 

the importance of technology in Agriculture and farm practices is to reduce drudgery in farm operations and increase unit farm yields to commercial sizes to meat the ever-increasing demand for food!

the REP Department has instituted into its training and farm development strategies, updated farm technologies, that must bench mark mainly on high-quality & high-yielding seeds, high-resitant livestock for commercial and export grade, highly developed sustainable farm operation designs, farm business models that meet up with the 4th Industrial Generation!

the way to grow best is to grow from within!!

thanks!

CFTP 2015: "more than a developmental project"


CFTP 2015- more than a developmental project
 
....the Commercial Farming Training Project, 2015 has proved to be more than the conventional agricultural development projects. 

using a baseline of crops with comparative advantage per State, needs analysis per community and presence of available farming technologies per geo-political region, the Project has survived and succeeded the 1st quarter of the Nigerian Economy Stagnation, 2016. 

if the Market Gardening and Irrigation technology provided by the National Directorate of Employment has trained 25 persons on Commercial Vegetable Farming for the markets, then we all agree that the demand is up-most for vegetable in the dry, hot season around the Country.

also, if the demand for farm Broilers is to meet the demand of the 1st quarter of 2016, this would be a miracle, hence the choice for Commercial Broiler Production was not in vain.

this technique demonstrated by the Officers of the Rural Employment Promotion Dept, of the NDE demands full recognition and applause, as we carry out policies based on research and feedback mechanisms.   

the beneficiaries at the end were fully resettled and hence began their projects ahead of the loan repayment periods, this is to enable them save enough for uncertainties in the future and meet certain market demands related to festivals.

 thanks.
