By Faced with soaring vegetable prices, residents of Enugu have embraced sack farming as a cost-effective way to grow their own food at home.
Investigations reveal that vegetable prices have skyrocketed, with a small heap of pumpkin leaves now selling for N1,000, while other varieties that previously cost between N500 and N1,000 are now priced between N1,500 and N2,000.
To cope with the rising costs, many residents have turned to sack farming, a simple yet effective method of growing vegetables in confined spaces such as balconies and courtyards.
The innovative approach is gaining widespread adoption across different parts of Enugu, helping households cut down on expenses while ensuring a steady supply of fresh produce.
Residents say sack farming is not only reducing their dependence on market-bought vegetables but also allowing them to cultivate organic food right at home.
As food prices continue to rise, more people are expected to adopt this farming method as a sustainable solution to the growing cost of living.
