1 Agro-Forestry  Reduces agric related GHGs- CO 2, N 2 O, CH 4  Potential for sequestering carbon.  Shading effects of agro- forestry trees can buffer temperature and atmospheric saturation deficit.  919,860 seedlings have been distributed within the last 3 years  Conserves biodiversity.  Pathways to food security.  Increases soil organic matter and nitrogen fixation, hence improves soil fertility.  Protects against damaging effects of wind or water flow.  Reduces soil/water erosion and sedimentation in rivers, etc. 1

3 Rice For Job Programme Location: Itoga, Badagry and Itoiki, Epe.  Strengthens production capacity of rice farmers.  35Ha of land irrigated to reduce the dependence of our farmers on rain fed rice production  Uses modern rice farming technique on 200 hectares annually without land degradation and loss of soil fertility.  Reduces GHG emissions such as Carbon dioxide (CO 2), Methane (CH 4 ) especially released from rice paddies.  Enhances food security.  Ensures use of environment-friendly agro- chemicals.  Embraces the use of good irrigation system for optimum production.  Creates employment opportunities in the rice value chain and alleviates poverty. 3

5 Promotion of Greenhouse Vegetable Production  Greenhouse allows for greater control over the uncertain climatic conditions.  Able to control/regulate temperature, levels of light and shade, irrigation, fertilizer application, and atmospheric humidity.  Enables certain crops to be grown throughout the year even in uncertain climatic conditions.  Greenhouse utilizes maximally available parcel of land and marginally improves food production in areas of scarce land.  6 Greenhouses introduced schools under School Agric Programme  16 Greenhouses given to Farmers at Iyafin Vegetable Estate  2 Greenhouses established in Songhai  6 Greenhouses established in Araga on 2ha of Land  4 Greenhouses established in Agbowa Arable Crop Estate 5
