Once upon a time, he reared chickens and rabbits on the rooftop of his apartment building. He also grew veggies in the balcony.  Naftal Mocha, a library and information science graduate, had made up his mind to take up farming fulltime. He faced a few knocks but his resolve paid off. Today, the 30-year old father of two owns and runs two thriving farms, one where he carries out crop farming and another animal rearing. He is also the founder of City Yard Farming Solutions. Naftal believes that the future is in agribusiness.
