Innovative production and utilization of organomineral fertilizer for improved crop drought and diseases and pests tolerance, growth, yields and quality of maize. It is a multi-stakeholder approach with Owotoro Atisbo Irapada Cooperative Investment Limited that produces Wonder Organomineral fertilizer, scientists, small-holding farmers, Wema Bank Plc. and Bank of Industry in Oyo, State, Nigeria. Collecting data on soil properties, organominert fertilizer properties, maize, growth, yield and quality and modelling. Food systems involves the social, environment, economic and political dimensions. It is more complex than food chain. I am considering all the logistics involved in food production, Falling Armyworm infestation is a big challenge in maize production in Nigeria with high rate of pesticide usage. The application of our wonder fertilizer reduces armyworm infestation. Thereby increasing food safety. I am looking for collaborative opportunities to get access to standard laboratory with state-of-the-art equipment for soil and plant analysis.
