The Organic Fertiliser Producers and Suppliers Association of Nigeria has urged farmers to adopt organic practices in food production to ensure food safety and promote healthy living. Musa described organic farming as safer and more sustainable than inorganic farming, which relies heavily on chemical fertilisers and pesticides. According to him, organic farming eliminates the need for hazardous chemicals such as carbide, cement and other harmful substances in crop preservation. “Organic farming boosts food production, improves soil health and protects grains from pests through the use of organic soil enhancers and fertilisers tailored to specific crops,” he said. He urged the government to organise workshops and symposiums to educate farmers and other stakeholders on safe farming and food preservation methods.
