What we are building
There is no shortage of farming advice online. Most of it is written for a different climate, a different soil, and a farm ten times the size. The Learning Hub is meant to be the opposite: short, specific, and grounded in what works in Ogun and Lagos State.
Agronomy by crop
Spacing, planting calendars, water needs and common pests — for ugu, tomato, pepper, maize, cassava and the crops our farmers actually grow.
Post-harvest handling
Where most income is lost. Harvest timing, curing, crating, shade and simple storage that does not need electricity.
Safe input use
Reading a NAFDAC label, spotting counterfeits, mixing rates, protective equipment and pre-harvest intervals.
Pricing and markets
Understanding what your crop is worth in Lagos this week, seasonal price patterns, and when holding stock helps or hurts.
Records and money
Simple record keeping that shows whether a season made money, and that lenders will actually accept.
Using CityFarms
Listing produce, setting prices, handling orders and building a rating that brings repeat buyers.
Content is being written now
We would rather publish ten guides that are genuinely useful than a hundred scraped from elsewhere. Material is being developed with agronomists and with farmers already on the platform, in English and in the languages our farmers use.

- Short video — the primary format. Most of our farmers are on phones with limited data, so videos are kept short and downloadable rather than streamed repeatedly.
- One-page guides — printable, for pinning up or passing round a cooperative meeting.
- Seasonal reminders — timed to the planting calendar, sent by SMS to farmers who opt in.
