As a follow-up to AgriTech Lab 1.0, we hosted 20 youths and participants of AgriTech Lab 1.0 at a soilless farm where they underwent a 3-hour long on-site training on soilless farming. The training which held on Wednesday 12th June, 2019 at Abeokuta, Ogun State was facilitated by Samson Ogbole, the Co-founder of PS Nutraceuticals.
