00:05Jeffshi Wombashi knows you don't need a big garden to live well.
00:10Thanks to their sacks, he and his son have fresh food all year round.
00:16I grow them based on organic fertilizer. I don't use chemical fertilizer on them.
00:24It has been yielding very well.
00:26Jeffshi Wombashi says he has more than enough to go around.
00:29What I take the light in mostly is when someone comes and he is so desirous, I give out, assist
00:38families around.
00:39We don't have to go out there and buy something that has been chemicalized.
00:47Farming in sacks is a smart way for people in urban areas to grow their own food throughout the seasons.
00:53Water from a well ensures irrigation for maize, carrots, spinach and more during the dry season.
01:00The method has proven a lifesaver in uncertain times.
01:04We are faced with a situation where a lot of people have to flee away from their homes because of
01:10a crisis and insecurity.
01:13So people in the urban areas need to begin to think about what we call the urban farming.
01:19More and more people in northern Nigeria are leaving rural areas to avoid armed conflict.
01:24As food prices rise, urban farms like Jeffshi's fill a real need.
01:30With more support, it could help combat food insecurity.
01:34The government can actually come into this and bring in professionals to train people in this type of farming.
01:42We can encourage them by giving them seedlings, teaching them this practice, making them see that these things that they
01:48feel is difficult to do are things they could do in their convenience.
01:53Sack farming has certainly worked out for Jeffshi Wombish and his family.
01:58He hopes more people will get into it.
02:00So the advantage is that use the space that is available to you to farm whatever you intend to farm.
02:10What you feel will be immediate needs of the family.
02:13It will sustain you.
02:14This is a detail here.
02:14Move now.
02:15Thanks, Marcia.
02:16Now, Paris.
02:16Somebody things to panic.
02:18This connected it.
02:19First mistake.
