Nigerian Entrepreneur - Shipping Container Farming 

Because leafy greens do not flourish in Nigeria's hot climates stores usually have to import their salads. With hot climates being partly attributed to excessive fuel consumption the transportation method could potentially perpetuate this problem.

Oluwayimika Angel Adelaja has delivered a solution to this - utilising a shipping container to grow the produce indoors. Fresh Direct Nigeria have the ideal temperatures to produce the desired crops, therefore keeping it homegrown and alleviating the transportation requirements.

In what is effectively a gully system, similar to what a London University Academy have installed through Emporium, this system allows far more control over the growing temperature and delivery of water with the required nutrients.
