Impact

Pandagric also contributes to the development of smallholder programmes. These programmes are founded upon training smallholders in the principles of sustainable agriculture, facilitating increased productivity and resilience for these small family farms.

At Pandagric we support local schools and implement in-house training and skills-transfer programmes. We understand that education is an enabler of economic development and serves to reduce societal inequalities

Water scarcity, poor water quality, and inadequate sanitation negatively impact food security, livelihood choices, and educational opportunities for poor families in Nigeria. At Pandagric, we responsibly steward our own water use through optimized irrigation systems. We also contribute to SDG 6 through our work with surrounding communities, where we provide boreholes for potable water, and toilets and hand-washing facilities, thereby reducing the spread of water-borne diseases which are a significant cause of mortality in Nasarawa State

Unemployment levels are high in Nigeria, and jobs are often characterized by insecurity, very low pay, and no access to social protection. Pandagric strives to be a good and fair employer, complying with national legislation as well as aligning with the ILO Core Labour Standards and IFC PS 2 (Labour and Working Conditions). In addition, we focus on the provision of ancillary economic programmes, in our work with smallholder farmers

Agriculture in Nigeria is both a contributor to and uniquely vulnerable to, land degradation and biodiversity loss.

At Pandagric, we strive to contribute to the conservation or improvement of biodiversity, through certain key farming practices as well as through a reforestation programme with ambitious targets
