Xtralarge Farms promotes organic farming with Agritech City

In a bid to promote organic farming in the country to help protect Nigeria’s ecosystem as well as promote healthy living for citizens, Xtralarge Farms has launched Agritech City to optimise farmers’ production efficiencies in growing food organically.

The Agritech City which was unveiled alongside the Xtratoken and wonder meals by Seyi Davids, chief executive officer of Xtralarge Farms, in Lagos recently will be established on 3,000 acres of land in Ogun state.

Davids, at the unveiling said that the introduction of the digital currency was meant for exchange of goods and services within the Agritech City.

“Providing strong consumer base for food items is one of the major objectives of Xtralarge Farms. To do this, we want to provide our customers with healthier foods and organic farming is the way to go,” Davids said.

“We grow our food organically without the use of any chemicals. By this we want to use food to treat alignment,” he said.

“We train farmers on modern farming methods to carry out their farming activities in a productive, professional and profitable way’’.

He stated that there was need for Nigerians to adopt organic living, stressing that eating organic food would improve the health of human, animals and their environment,. Organic farming would help to keep the country’s biodiversity, he added.

He noted that exposing human beings to chemicals in food affects their genes and in turn the body system, adding that to enhance a sustainable healthy ecosystem in the country, there was need for reorientation for people to have the understanding and knowhow for them to impact on their environment.

Speaking on the Agritech City, he said that the farm would harbour a farming environment in the midst of world-class luxury, beauty comfort hospitality and serenity.
