Financial barriers to new operations. The high cost of getting into farming is a major obstacle for new operators. Farm equipment, property, and livestock are all expensive, and once a farm operator goes out of production, few can afford to get back in. Competition for land. As competing and conflicting land uses push into the agricultural community, it is more difficult to farm using standard farm practices. Reduced levels of support. Research funding and government agencies that traditionally assisted the farmers are being cut. Research facilities that were located in agricultural areas are increasingly being centralized. Farming is essentially a small business that is becoming increasingly complex. Research and bureaucratic support that is readily available at the local level is essential to its success. Decline of agricultural infrastructure. As the agricultural infrastructure in the urban fringe continues to decline, the availability of services from farm equipment to veterinary services continues to decline making it more difficult and expensive to farm.The ambiguities of the Provincial Policy Statement. Like the federal government, the province does not have a clearly articulated policy on agriculture, notwithstanding the Provincial Policy Statement. The PPS is implemented on a municipality-by-municipality basis, with little consideration of its implications on a broader regional basis. The PPS is often used as a tool to justify urban expansion, rather than as a tool for preservation of high-quality agricultural land and directing growth to other locations. Housing issues or homelessness. lack of accommodation for our employees, and trainees to abode .
Problem of finance. We're planning to make contrition from organization members and initiate part of our income generated from the sales of our farms produces, with the amount we are expecting to win from mission Billion challenge to solve the problem of financial barrier. Lack of enough farmland . We set goals to buy additional 7hactares of land, as a result of winning this mission Billion challenge. Agriculture infrastructure, we set goals to introduce new machines And equipments, that will enable us to improve in our productivities.we plan to build new infrastructure building that will accommodate all our staffs ,employees and trainees by winning this award, we also plan to introduce new career training program into our program schemes . Ambiguities of the provincial policy statement by government. Time will tell whether this will be addressed through the ongoing federal/provincial initiative Agricultural Policy Framework, the purpose of which is to develop a comprehensive agricultural policy. In the meantime, subsidies for agriculture in other countries skew the marketplace, making foreign products costly than Nigerian products. Stopped of foreign products policies were designed to address these inequities but often seem ineffective.
