"Their social enterprise, Babban Gona (“Great Farm” in the Hausa language), offers a rare model that not only makes farming lucrative and an attractive opportunity for Nigeria’s youth...It all starts with what the company calls Trust Groups, small teams of three to five smallholders. They mostly grow maize or corn. Each group operates like a mini-grassroots cooperative, supporting each other throughout the season, helping till each other's land, cross-guaranteeing each other's loans."
