    This a great innovation to transform the Northern Nigerian farm lands. The soil is ver fertile in pasts of Southern Nigeria with virgin natural forests, jungle or parts of rainforests that would need clearing before farming can be done there and this system would create a balanced ecosystem without a need for deforestation.

    Fantastic project!! European/originally Middle Eastern agriculture mainly uses pioneer plants (grasses), that only grow well on bare soil. Industrialized this leads to massive soil degradation and is especially not suited for tropical climate, where heavy rain washes the soil away... Agroforestry needs to be adopted everywhere.

    He says "we are" a lot but I didn't see him working and I didn't see Him shoveling cow manure without shoes like his workers. The permaculture principles are true however the work model of a fat man working poor men for low wages is not. Some obvious questions are: Who receives income when something is sold? Is seed sold to local farmers or given? Is this their land or his? The project has great potential to help people and it also has great potential for exploitation.

      Good question. It's not just about how much they consume but how much they can share with neighbouring plants. Their hydraulic lift system supports the companions with water and nutrients. It has a reason why cassava grows so nicely with them like many other. The Recycling of water in the system is important (condensation) which is much better done by plants of the lower level including grasses. They have to be implemented at the same time.
