About Us
Transforming Communities Through Knowledge, Agriculture, and Innovation.
The Foundation for Agricultural and Sustainable Development (FASD) was founded with a vision to address two of Nigeria’s most urgent challenges—rural poverty and industrial underdevelopment. Recognizing that sustainable agriculture and inclusive industrialization must go hand in hand, FASD emerged as a platform to bridge grassroots needs with national development goals.
Since its inception, FASD has collaborated with local communities, government agencies, and international partners to design programs that empower women, unlock value chains, and align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Our story is one of shared progress—built on knowledge, driven by collaboration, and rooted in sustainability.
