About AFFFSI

This initiative, spearheaded by the AAWDI Family Farmers for Sufficiency Initiative (AFFFSI), aims to implement smart agricultural practices, develop advanced storage and processing systems, and create a robust framework for disaster relief across Nigeria. AFFFSI’s leadership in sustainable agricultural development and community-driven projects positions it as the key driver for transforming food systems, addressing food insecurity, and supporting wealth creation, particularly in vulnerable regions affected by disasters such as floods, terrorism, famine, and communal conflicts.

Vision

AAWDI Family Farmers for Sufficiency Initiative (AFFFSI), aims to implement smart agricultural practices, develop advanced storage and processing systems, and create a robust framework for disaster relief across Nigeria. AAWDI’s leadership in sustainable agricultural development and community-driven projects positions it as the key driver for transforming food systems, addressing food insecurity, and supporting wealth creation, particularly in vulnerable regions affected by disasters such as floods, terrorism,
famine, and communal conflicts.

Objectives

1. To establish efficient irrigation systems in all states.

2. To create year-round cropping opportunities, reducing seasonal
dependency.

3. Foster Community Resilience: Strengthen local capacity through
cooperatives, training, and resources sharing.

4. Develop Strategic Food Reserves: Provide timely and adequate relief to disaster-affected populations.

5. Implement Smart Agricultural Systems: Leverage technology to
optimize productivity and sustainability.

6. Establish Advanced Storage and Processing Infrastructure:
Minimize post-harvest losses and enhance food value chains.

7. Create Wealth and Economic Opportunities: Empower communities through training, agribusiness ventures, and inclusive
participation.

8. To attract local and international investment into Nigeria’s agricultural sector, specifically targeting ventures that increase export capacity and foreign exchange earnings.
