Sunday is typically a day of rest, but not for the hardworking team at Aglobe Development Center! The team is making final preparations to the grow beds to make sure they’re ready for the plants intended to be raised. Aglobe Development Center works every day to uphold its dedication to sustainable agriculture and cutting-edge farming methods.

We’re overjoyed to report that the UDS Living Laboratory’s aquaponics system produced a successful harvest! We’ve harvested some stunning, homegrown okra today. However, our goal goes beyond just producing scrumptious food. As a token of appreciation for their generosity, we are happy to share these nutrient-dense okra with our kind host community. Our dedication to sustainable, community-driven agriculture depends on our ability to perform this act of giving back to the community. It’s all about developing relationships and changing the world for the better.

The planting of new lettuce seedlings has revitalized the Deep Water Culture (DWC) system at UDS LL. These tender greens are currently prospering in their aquatic habitat and prepared to flourish. The DWC system’s renewal denotes a dedication to sustainable agriculture and ongoing hydroponic farming research. The Living Laboratory is still committed to supporting creative approaches to effective and environmentally sustainable food production.

The Egerton Living Laboratory (Egerton LL) is thrilled to announce the launch of its insect rearing training program, in collaboration with Insectpro. The program has already shown exceptional promise with samples of crickets featured prominently.

In addition to cricket rearing, Egerton LL is also actively conducting training on Black Soldier Fly (BSF) rearing. This initiative is made possible through a partnership with INCiTiS-FOOD from Jaramogi Oginga Odinga University of Science and Technology, led by Prof. Ayieko and Dr. Mwereza.

A harvest of mint leaves has been successfully gathered at the UDS Living Laboratory, marking a recent milestone achievement. These vivid green leaves have undergone careful preparation and are now ready for distribution and packing. The dried mint leaves, which will be used to make delicious mint tea and flavor enhancers, are sure to tempt the taste buds. This flavorful, homegrown product exemplifies sustainable agricultural methods and highlights the successful effects of the cutting-edge initiatives sprouting up at UDS LL.

The LL in Lagos is proud to announce its latest community initiative. In a gesture of goodwill, the living lab distributed nutrient-rich Ewedu (Jute Leaf) to its host community.

The UDS Living Laboratory (UDS LL) is gearing up for an exciting phase of development. The team is diligently preparing growbeds, laying the foundation for innovative crop cultivation in Lagos.

In a remarkable feat of sustainable farming technology, the UDS Living Laboratory (UDS LL) has proudly announced a successful vegetable harvest, including peppers and tomatoes, from its cutting-edge aquaponics system.

The UI Living Lab is thrilled to announce a significant milestone in their mission to advance sustainable agriculture and innovative farming techniques. Construction was underway and successfully completed for the state-of-the-art screen house.

This screen house represents a significant leap forward in the LL’s commitment to promoting sustainable and eco-friendly agriculture. It will provide a controlled environment for plant growth, shielding crops from adverse weather conditions and pests, while also allowing us to explore cutting-edge farming technologies.

A recent fruitful meeting initiated by Aglobe Development Centre Living Lab in order to discuss important policy matters happened. The meeting was held between the mentioned Living Lab, Lagos Ministry of Agriculture, University of the Bundeswehr Munich, and RFisheries Nigeria Limited to discuss the INCiTiS-FOOD initiative and the Milan Urban Food Policy Pact (MUFPP). Exploring pathways for sustainable city-region food systems in alignment with European Green Deal priorities and MUFPP objectives is a core principle of INCiTiS-FOOD.
