| Summary: | This case highlights the activities of an urban farmer, Banji, who was "pushed" into vegetable farming in a city suburb to earn a living. Banji's engagement in farming activities proves to be an eye-opener to the huge opportunities embedded in the agriculture sector that he is determined to fully explore. Yet, there are problems such as finance, proficiency, and environmental issues that farmers like him will have to navigate. Urban farmers have the potential not only to help secure the food supply in the city, but also to create jobs for others. To be successful, a farmer should be able to understand the business environment that he or she operates in. The case underlines an urban farmer's contemplation of several ideas to grow his farm business. These ideas, with their financial implications, include the application of a new irrigation system, effective time management, employing more farm staff, and developing new markets. |
