Wife of the Anambra Governor, Dr Nonye Soludo, says home gardening remains a practical pathway to healthy living, food sufficiency and economic support for households, particularly in the face of rising food costs.
Soludo said this in a statement on Friday in Awka, announcing plans to distribute 5,000 packs of hybrid, non-genetically modified organism (non-GMO) seeds to residents.
She said the initiative was aimed at encouraging household gardening and subsistence farming during the rainy season.
“The initiative is to support passionate individuals interested in cultivating home gardens and improving food production across the state.
“Each seed pack contains carefully selected varieties of corn, green vegetables, cabbage, pepper, tomatoes and okra to help families grow healthy, organic food within their homes and communities,” she said.
The governor’s wife urged residents to take advantage of the opportunity to embrace farming.
