Our Method

How We Drive Transformation

A comprehensive, structured model designed to break the circle of poverty and unlock agricultural potential.

Empower Local Farmers

Empower local farmers through structured training, hands-on demonstration, and knowledge exchange on climate-resilient techniques.

Facilitate Access to Funding

To support farmers in their journey to scale and invest in their agricultural enterprises, the program facilitates access to funding through microcredit and other financial services. By making these financial tools available, farmers are empowered to purchase necessary inputs, adopt new technologies, and expand their operations. This targeted financial support helps remove common barriers to growth, enabling farmers to improve productivity and achieve greater economic stability.

Connect Farmers to Ready Markets

Connect farmers to ready markets through digital platforms, cooperatives, and off-take partnerships for fair pricing.

Promote Innovation and Agri-Tech

Promote innovation and agri-tech with affordable mechanization, precision tools, and mobile solutions for better decisions.

Availability of Storage & Post-Harvest Assets

NOMA ensures the availability of modern storage, cleaning, and drying facilities at strategic hubs across the North. These high-capacity, secure, and fully operational facilities are located in Ningi and Bauchi Metropolis (Bauchi State) as well as at the Dawanau International Market in Kano State. They provide farmers with accessible post-harvest solutions that preserve quality, reduce losses, and enhance market value.

Increase Yield and Successful Outcomes

Farmers increase yields and income sustainably, allowing communities to thrive. Nigeria, alongside NOMA, advances its role in global food security.

Innovative Agricultural Practices

01Practice 01

Greenhouse & Urban Agriculture

Utilizing unused urban land and underutilized backyard spaces can generate additional income. NOMA trains women and youth in greenhouse farming, enabling stay-at-home mothers and young people to become productive growers and enhance household food security.

02Practice 02

Drip Irrigation

Water scarcity and inefficient irrigation methods pose significant challenges for farmers. NOMA implements drip irrigation as a smart farming technique in greenhouses. This system delivers water directly to plant roots, conserving resources, improving yields, and facilitating year-round production, even during dry seasons. Through these initiatives, NOMA is committed to enhancing the capabilities and livelihoods of smallholder farmers. These systems are semi-mechanized and can be easily fabricated locally, ensuring precision, improving crop population, cutting input costs, and increasing farm income.

03Practice 03

Mechanized Harvesting

Smallholder farmers often rely on manual harvesting, which can be slow, costly, and may result in significant losses. NOMA addresses these challenges by promoting farmer clustering and enabling access to simple threshers and combine harvesters. This approach reduces waste, theft, and post-harvest losses, ultimately helping farmers increase their income. NOMA meets the needs of smallholder farmers by providing access to modern farming tools through a cooperative clustering model. We offer affordable mechanized solutions that enhance efficiency, reduce losses, save time, improve yields, and increase farmers' incomes across various stages of farming, including land preparation, planting, harvesting, and greenhouse farming.

04Practice 04

Land Preparation

Manual plowing and using bulls restrict farm efficiency. NOMA's tractor-sharing model allows smallholder farmers to prepare land more quickly, at a lower cost, and on a larger scale, thereby improving productivity from the very beginning of the season.

05Practice 05

Planter Usage

Traditional manual planting can waste seeds and reduce yields due to improper spacing. NOMA promotes the use of mechanized planters, particularly manual planters. Additionally, we have improved the skills of our program beneficiaries since the beginning of the intervention, enabling them to effectively and efficiently utilize resources related to agro-inputs, smart agriculture, and climate change adaptation, which ensures high productivity. Our approach focuses on implementing mechanized farming techniques specifically designed for smallholder farmers. These methods aim to enhance efficiency, increase productivity, and improve overall farming practices, making them more sustainable and profitable for small-scale agricultural operations.
