Xtralarge Farms & Resorts Nigeria, in collaboration with Xtralarge Global Agritourism Ltd UK, has pledged to drive food security, job creation, and climate-conscious development in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at its forthcoming World Agritourism Summit.
The summit aims to examine agriculture not just as a means of production but as an enterprise capable of promoting culture, tourism, and sustainable economic development.
The summit, themed “Promoting Sustainable Agriculture Through Tourism,” scheduled for October 25, 2025, will take place at D5 Bexleyheath, United Kingdom, and is expected to attract policymakers, investors, and agricultural entrepreneurs from different parts of the world.
The summit has the backing of the Nigerian-British Chamber of Commerce, the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NIDCOM), the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, and the Nigerian Diaspora Direct Investment Initiative.
Among dignitaries expected at the summit are the Mayor of Leeds, Mrs Abigail Katung Marshal; Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO of NIDCOM; Senator Sabi Aliyu, Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Security; Dr Seyi Davids; Akin Akinpelu; and Governor Temitope Akinlade.
The Co-founder of Xtralarge Farms, Dr Moji Davids, said, “We are inviting everyone into farming through the power of tourism. Agritourism allows people to experience farming firsthand while creating economic opportunities and transforming agriculture into a lifestyle, legacy, and business.”
She disclosed that the summit would feature exhibitions, panel discussions, and workshops aimed at strengthening collaboration between farmers, investors, and policymakers.
“Agritourism is a bridge connecting rural communities to global opportunities. We are calling on Nigerians in the diaspora to invest in smart farming, agro-processing, and cultural tourism. This is a call to action for economic transformation,” Davids said.
This year’s edition in the UK will also recognise individuals and organisations championing innovation in agritourism and sustainable farming practices across Africa and beyond.
