Project Brief
Youth Incubation Centre (YIC-Hubs) is a farm practical centre where youths are trained in Agribusiness with goal oriented, market oriented and business-oriented approaches. The youths will be exposed to state-of-the-earth agricultural technologies that guarantee high productivity, allocative, technical and cost efficiencies.
The youths will learn the principles of crop production, crop protection, agribusiness and farm management, climate smart agriculture, value chain management in agriculture, product processing and value addition, soil and land management, agricultural extension practices and integrated farming techniques with empirical evidences.
The target crops will be based on demand. The Incubation is expected to last for 24 months after which each of the youth graduate with a certificate. They will also be empowered with 40% of the profit realized at the incubation center for their Self Owned Production (SOP).

Project Brief
las-F is designed to ensure that simple mobile driven planting, harvesting and post-harvest equipment are deployed to high producing farm communities and operated by youths and women clusters to renders services from one village to another and farm to farm.
This is done using a demand driven mobile Mechanization service delivery approach whereby we introduce a leasing scheme for small motorized agro-machineries to small holder farmers who may not need to or do not
have the capacity to acquire tractors and other heavy implements and thus would require small motorized equipment of between ₦1,500,000 to ₦3,000,000 payable over 2 to 3 years.
This will increase annual production of quality food products, ensure food security, alleviate poverty and reduce unrest among the youths. Ultimately, this will create jobs to the youths.
