Gbemisola Efejedia

Gbemisola, a 26-year-old AgriTech innovator from Lagos, leads Alpha Gro Nigeria, a company focused on soilless farming through hydroponics and aquaponics. Her vertical farming solutions produce high-yield crops with minimal water and land, revolutionising food security in Nigeria. Backed by the Tony Elumelu Foundation, she aims to train farmers in modern methods and reduce post-harvest losses for rural communities. Driven to dispel the notion that farming is a “poor man’s job,” Gbemisola’s work is a testament to the potential of tech-integrated agriculture in feeding Nigeria’s future.
