Eight Orbit Urban Farms (EOUF), a research-based farming business, has disclosed plans to build a high-tech indoor farm in Africa.

Also, the firm plans to use AI to revolutionize agriculture in Nigeria and beyond, according to Christina Igono a research scientist based in the United States and founder of EOUF.

The organisation is a pioneering controlled environment agriculture startup dedicated to year-round farming of sustainable crops like tomatoes, pepper, fruits, leafy vegetables, and staple foods using cutting-edge hydroponic and aeroponic technologies.

The organisation is on a mission to solve the dire food security challenges in Africa, through the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Nutrient Film Techniques (NFT). As the global population increase, the demand for food increases.

Africa is the fastest growing population globally and for many decades have been dealing with food security challenges that leads to famine because of poor traditional farming system, ecological challenges, and seasonality in crop production.
