Lagos State Agripreneurship Program Details
Lagos Agripreneurship Program (L.A.P.) is a social intervention programme aimed at exposing the youth to agriculture via training utilising modern agricultural techniques and practices towards job and wealth creation.
Agriculture is the backbone many economies, averaging 25% or more of GDP in several developing countries and representing a prime opportunity to employ the youth.
Considering the ageing population of food producers in the country, with the average age stemmed at 60+, it behoves on the government to drive inclusive strategies that engage the target group in agricultural food production.
Lagos is not left behind in this drive, and as such initiated programmes targeted at youth participation in the sector through its Ministry of Agriculture to mitigate some of the challenges identified as preventing the youth from fully engaging in agriculture – most notably lack of financing, land, markets and training.
Some of the programmes initiated by the administration of Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu conceptualised the establishment of the Lagos Agripreneurship Programme (L.A.P.) in year 2020 as a social intervention programme aimed at exposing the youth to agriculture via training utlilizing modern agricultural techniques and practices towards job and wealth creation.
