It Takes a Community
The Agricultural Option is making agriculture a viable economic option for young people, and all people. We believe that just as it takes a community to raise a child, it also takes a community to raise agriculture, and make it viable for young and all people. We are building a community of doers and helpers that will.
Community Outlook
The Community of Practice is at the center of TAO's capacity for user discovery, productivity improvement of users, access to finance, and other adjacent support.
TAO places a premium on the development of a strong community that aggregates to develop agriculture for the benefit of young people and country.
Community features prominently in operating all the modules of TAO, this is due to our belief that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The aggregate knowledge, passion and support of our members will present transformational effects for individual users and industry as a whole.
The Creators
The creators at TAO alongside all of us are the owners and gatekeepers of our community. Working with all members, they are the engine room that makes the community tick, relevant, productive, guided and healthy. They are there to provide several types of support that makes our community vibrant and grow. The creators are an integral part of TAO's delivery mechanism, and they partake in the transformational work, the economic benefits and other incentives available at TAO and to TAO. Therefore, the creators are very important partners in making agriculture a viable option for young and indeed all people, where they can earn up to 50m Naira per annum in various areas of agriculture, including in being a creator.
Grant, Fees and Commissions
Our creators are trusted with producing excellent quality content and delivery that costs money and effort, therefore, we provide grants to get them cracking quickly. Up to 1 million Naira in grants is provided to beginner creators for purposes such as equipment purchase, staffing and logistics. Easy to access loans are also available to creators for expansion of their practices, business and content production. Fees and commissions are paid to creators on the account of the consumption of their content and other works such as fellow acquisition.
