My name is Jacob Araba John a resilient and innovative entrepreneur, born on December 15, 1994. Orphaned at the tender age of three, I faced immense challenges, including poverty, hunger, and unemployment. Despite these hardships, I persevered, often going without food and working barefoot.
Determined to create a better life, l pursued a background in Management Information Technology. However, my true passion lies in agriculture, particularly in greenhouse construction and hydroponic vegetable cultivation. I specializes in growing bell peppers and beef tomatoes in a controlled hydroponic greenhouse environment.
As the founder of JosGreen Agrictech, I aim to revolutionize sustainable farming practices in Nigeria. My startup, launched this year, focuses on hydroponic farming and greenhouse construction, addressing the country’s pressing issues of food insecurity, poverty, and unemployment.
My remarkable journey is a testament to my unwavering dedication, resilience, and innovative spirit. Despite the odds, I continue to strive for a brighter future, driven by my passion for sustainable agriculture and my determination to make a positive impact in my community.
