Soils and Relationships: Farming Together

The Nigerian flag: Green, White and Green.
The basis of peace is flourishing agriculture.

We have allowed foreign cash crops to flood our nation, debilitating local production.
We have allowed foreign artificial chemicals to debilitate our soils.
These chemicals ruin our topsoil, bringing erosion and washing poisons into our water ways.
They kill our insect life, which is essential to our environment, building our plant and animals’ welfare.
In short, our agricultural dollar has gone abroad and not into our local communities.

Farming with a dependence on artificial chemicals has turned us away from community and turned us to individualism. We cannot build a nation of unity and peace on individualism.
