Professor Agnes Onyeagba a senior citizen, encourages young farmers to invest more in organic farming, which she says has kept her looking younger at eighty nine.

The young farmers club for Secondary school students is to equip them with first hand knowledge on how to run farm business, and make them self reliant after graduation.
