What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

The farm is a source of food where milk, eggs, meat, and food crops such as beans, maize and cassava are produced. Farmers must, therefore, be conscious of sanitation in their daily activities to avoid food contamination and the spread of disease.

In addition, farmers are expected to keep in mind climate change mitigation and avoid activities that have tragic effects on farming. If global warming continues unabated, it will be impossible for most farmers, especially in poor countries, to practice agriculture.

The farm has to be well planned according to the different enterprises carried out on it and how farm waste is to be handled. There ought to be a place allocated to each activity; where milking is done, where grain is kept, where fodder and feeds are stored, and an area for manure heaps as well as all other farm waste disposal. Farm waste should be in separate containers in the form of plastics and hard metal, according to experts.

When we speak about climate change or global warming, some people mainly think about the burning of fossil fuels, oil, coal, and gas, as the main and only drivers of greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon dioxide is only one of the global warming gases.

Scientists say carbon dioxide forms a tiny proportion of the atmosphere but it is critical for maintaining the temperature in which life flourishes.
