Simple Farmer's Guide for Urban Farming

Publication on growing in sacks, small containers, vertical spaces for your kitchen gardens and limited space.

This manual responds to the growing demand for practical, affordable, and climate-smart food production solutions in Nigeria amid rising food prices, rapid urbanisation, and shrinking land access. Designed especially for households with limited space, including those in urban and low-income communities, it provides clear, step-by-step guidance on small-scale food production methods such as sack farming, container gardening, vertical systems, and household composting.

By promoting simple, sustainable home gardening practices, the manual supports improved nutrition, reduced dependence on food imports, and strengthened local resilience. It aligns with national and community efforts to enhance food security while empowering households to take meaningful steps toward healthier, more self-sufficient, and environmentally sustainable living.
