FARMSOC

Farmsoc is a social enterprise entity that operates several medium-scale farms across Nigeria in response to the nation’s need to increase access to fresh & healthy food. Our members put money together for the daily operation of the farms. Our members help make farming a more financially secure and enjoyable occupation while creating sustainable job opportunities for young farmers in the community to make a start and earn a living in return. In return, the people get fantastic quality organic farm produce at a fairly low price. Our philosophy extends to our approach to pay, where again we are different. We aim to pay fair market rates to the people who serve our members. By contract, for our Board Members and most Senior Executives, we aim for the total financial reward to be lower than our most of our key competitor; as it is clear that what brings them here is more than money. Objective To increase local food supply and sustainability. To be community-led and promote agriculture among youth. To create inclusively shared spaces for the community to cultivate skills. To achieve economic stability and supporting land-based employment. Our Core Values We aim to be transparent, professional, democratic, inclusive, passionate, collaborative, innovative, inspiring, fun, pragmatic, promote equality and demonstrate leadership. We also take inspiration from the three ethics of permaculture: care for people, care for the planet and fair shares.
