Student Managed Farms

SMF progress across colleges

Skip [Cocoon] About (Text 2 Columns)

Students Managed Farms Enterprise is an educational model that creates the platform for students to lead and be innovative in their ways of thinking under the supervision of staff. The project gives on-field practical skills to students. Although there are a number of projects on College campuses, none has adopted this model hence the need for this model in the training of students. KAC SMF has now established three agricultural enterprises under the Student Managed Farm model.

Through market survey, we have started three businesses. These are:

❖ Seedlings Production Business (coconut, pepper, mangoes)

❖ Pig production

❖ Maize production

To ensure that the objective of TEDMAG is fully achieved, there is the need to complement the entrepreneurial education with the establishment of practical entrepreneurial projects to equip the students with the skills and resources required to start their own business.

This project is the practical component for the Agribusiness Venture Management course. Student groups would plan an agribusiness enterprise they have chosen or been assigned with the assistance of the college tutors and the agribusiness incubator innovation hub. Students will also have the opportunity to work with outside agribusinesses. The SMF was modelled after the Lakeland College’s SMF in Alberta, Canada.

WHY IS THIS PROJECT IMPORTANT?

We are now in an era where there is increase in enrollment in agricultural training institutions leading to increase in the number of graduates being churned out at the end of each academic year. The high numbers of graduates has led to an increase unemployment in the country coupled with the inability of some graduates to perform on the job as expected by industry players. This implies that agricultural training institutes like Kwadaso Agricultural College should rebrand their products so that majority of its students will become job creators (employers) and not job seekers to help themselves, and be competitive on the job market and the nation as a whole.
