THE 5(FIVE) SCHEMES OF THE PROGRAMME
1 | Adasomi Farm Estate Scheme | Through this Scheme, Hectare by Hectare Farm Estates are developed in Rural communities on behalf of Proxy Farmers for the cultivation of Food and Agricultural Raw Materials on any required large scale based on Off-take contracts from Food Processors and Large Scale Commodity Dealers. Sustainable revenue is provided for Landowners, participating communities, Local Government Councils and State Governments in addition to extra revenue created for all through the voluntary carbon market. |
2 | Adasomi Out-Growers Scheme | Through this Scheme, existing Rural Farmers and Out-Growers are incorporated into the programme and given access to technical support, finance, market, and fair pricing for their produce. Prequalified individuals are trained as Farmers or Food processors and allocated spaces within Hectare by Hectare Farming Clusters and given access to technical support, finance and market. Farms are developed in schools thereby providing more food, extra income to staff, revenue to the participating schools and practical learning experience for the students. |
3 | Adasomi & Revacom Food Court Scheme | Through this Scheme, several REVACOM Food Courts are developed in Urban areas to stimulate and create more opportunities for organized off-take of food and agricultural raw materials farmed and processed within the Hectare by Hectare value chain. REVACOM Food Courts are also established in Tertiary Institutions across Africa, thereby enabling the supply of affordable food to students and providing opportunities for extra income for staff of the institutions. In this regard, existing refectories are also refurbished and converted to REVACOM food Courts. Opportunities are created for all adult Africans to invest as Value Partners to own fractional interest in REVACOM Food Courts and earn daily income from food and beverages sold at the Food Courts. |
4 | Adasomi Premium Discount Scheme | Through this Scheme, food is supplied directly from farmers, Out-growers and Food Processors through local Sub-consolidators at below market price to homes of participating consumers within Africa. Massive inflow of foreign exchange is achieved through direct supply of farm produce and processed food to Africans living in the diaspora through Diaspora Sub-consolidators. Farm To Home Agents (mostly unemployed youths) are continuously empowered through the award of Premium Discount Supply & Forward Contracts created under the entire Programme for supply and off-take of inputs, machineries, farm produce and processed food. |
5 | Hectare by Hectare Volunteering Scheme | As compensation for access to economic empowerment granted to them, Farm To Home Agents through the Hectare By Hectare Volunteering Scheme managed by Adasomi Foundation (ADF) provide Volunteering Services in their respective communities. The number of contract lots secured by each Farm To Home Agent is determined by the level of voluntary community services rendered by his/her Farm To Home Cooperative Society. |
