About Us
Nutritious AgriFuture Nigeria (NAF) is a locally rooted, expert-led agricultural innovation organization advancing nutritious, climate-resilient, and high-value staple crops across Nigeria and West Africa. As the Nigeria Network Entity Partner of HarvestPlus Solutions, we combine deep local expertise with global technical leadership to scale technologies that improve farmer livelihoods, strengthen food systems, and expand access to affordable, nutritious food.
NAF builds seed systems, markets, and partnerships that reach farmers where they are, linking research institutions, seed companies, agrodealers, processors, and government actors to deliver improved crop varieties at scale. Our team is composed of former HarvestPlus technical leads with over a decade of direct experience commercializing improved varieties of maize, beans, millet, and cowpea, reaching millions of farmers and consumers across Nigeria.
We work end-to-end across value chains, bringing together science, markets, and communities to unlock agricultural innovations that transform lives.
