Over 75% of Earth's land area has been degraded and 35% fish stocks over harvested. Overgrazing, tilling, erosion and application of chemicals, such as herbicides, insecticides and inorganic fertilizer, on land cause it  unsuitable for farming, wildlife and the entire ecosystems. As such, over 65% of smallholder farmers, who produces about 90% of food grown in Nigeria have no access to fertile land. Our solution is to regenerate and sustain the land and bring back wildlife that have gone into extinction  through pastured poultry farming practices, which involves raising birds outdoor on pastures in a bottomless mobile chicken pen with daily rotations to new pasture.

Pastured Poultry is raising birds outdoor in a mobile Pen with daily moves to new pasture. Birds have constant access to fresh air, sunlight, grasses insects, plant seeds, legumes ,scratching dirt, exercise and doing things that make them real birds. In return, they deposit manure directly on land helping regenerate, build and fertilize it. Non application of chemical such as herbicides, insecticides and inorganic fertilizer enables the land regenerate naturally, bring back wildlife and sustain ecosystems at large.
