ABSTRACT
Agriculture has been the topmost priority of every
successive administration Nigeria. This is due to the fact that the extent of
development of a nation is also measured interims of the quality and quantity
of food available to her people. Though the struggle at improving food status
has been on course before intendance. It reminds us of 1959, when the western
government grated agriculture land mark and sent a representative to Israel who
brought the form settlement scheme modeled after the Israel Mosheim. As a
result other regional government embraced the idea and established form
settlement various part of their region. But due to the discovery of crude oil
that led to the temporary abandonment of primary production of food by the
government there was a negative attitude toward farming and rapid pursuit of
quick money led to drastic drop in production, there Nigeria stated importing
foods from developed countries which brought a great set back to over economy.
The factor that led to the fall of farm facilities such as improper
construction of residential, lack of maintains culture.

INTRODUCTION
Farm Settlement is modern village where building
were erected for farmer with different infrastructural amenities such
electricity, school, Hospital for purpose of agriculture.
The board aim of farm settlement embraces all the
productive occupations of man in which he works with nature s in order to make
his plant and animal grow better , so that they may products, which he
harvests.
A farmer plants his crops at the beginning of the
rainy season and lets than grow with the rains, but he may plant tree to check the fprce of the
wind or build shed to protect his animals from harsh weather conditions, a
farmer grows his plants and animals with the
express purposed of harvesting them. It is clean from the above that any
treatment of farming should including growing crops and rearing livestock.
1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Something collect the farm settlement Revolution,
was the world’s first historically verifiable revolution in agriculture. It was
the wide scale transition of many human cultures from a life style of hunting
and gathering to one of agriculture and settlement which supported an
increasingly large population.
However the revolution involved far more than the
adoption of a limited set of food producing techniques during the next
millennia it would Trans form the small and mobile groups of hunter gathers
that had hither to dominate. Sedentary societies based in built up villages and
towns, which radically modified their natural environment by means of
specialized food crop cultivated (e.g. irrigation and food storage technologies
that allowed expensive surplus food production.)
PROBLEM
OF STATE FACING FARM SETTLEMENT
There are many problem facing farm settlement
today’s world these problem include:
The migrations of young people which can leave the
area in question with an ageing population, which can infect harm the area
because the area can deteriorate without the input of new generations. Farm
settlement.
In many farm settlement area, there is very high
dependence of agriculture most of the terms as their main source of income and
this can also be attributed to the low level of basic and manufacturing
industry.
Finally a very important problem facing farm
settlement is the lack of investment being put into these areas without
investment many farms and business can die and this would leave the town
community in an even worse states.
MOTIVATION
The motivation behind investment in research and
development come from a commitment to the development of a world leading,
sustainable and profitable aquaculture industry injecting in as well as the
families commitment to the social and economic welfare of their community
significant contribution rural sector investment.
It refined packaging developing an innovation and
successful.
JUSTIFICATION
Agriculture had been abandon since time age but the
government thought of it recently in
july ,2003 and came up with a programmed called “BACK TO FARM SCHEME” with the
purpose of reviving agriculture . As a
result, this project(Farm Settlement} was chose to support and complement
government ‘s effort in the development
of agriculture. Such as increasing food production and ensuring food
sufficiency for all, providing gainful employment for teeming unemployment

AIM AND OBJECTIVE
AIM
OF THE PROJECT
To design a standard farm settlement to efficiently
accommodate the required livestock and human begins.
OBJECTIVE
To design a settlement that will create human and
animal comfortability.
To design stable structure that will enhance easy
maintenance culture.

LIMITATION OF SYUDY
In the farm settlement design, there is a limit to
some extent within my scope and limitation there are some other thing which
cannot be include in order to avoid high cost in erecting the project due to
high cost of material.
EXPECTED COTRIBUTION TO THE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE
The Nigerian livestock industry is performing below
expectation in its role of providing adequate animal protein for the grow thing
population while annual population growth rate is about 3.0% estimate annual
growth rate of the output of the major livestock product is nearly stagnant
also the contribution of the livestock subsection of the gross domestic product
(GDP) has been declining

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In order to have a well functioning farm settlement
that people will appreciate it is necessary to know what the people especially the
farmer want and what is require of a farm settlement this is done in this way.
INTERVIEW
To interview a number of people in the state to know
what is expected of farm settlement people to be interview range from sub
section farmer to commercial farmer this will help a lot in the design of the
project.
CASE
STUDY
Visiting the existing one to know what is required
and their merit and demerit.
LITERATURE
SURVEY
Consultation of some architecture text book in order
to know what is expected of farm building or farm house. among the books are ARCHITECT DATA by Ernst neuter farm
building by john wale poultry production in warm wet climate by J A oluyemi and
FA Roberts and the complete book of raising live stock and poultry by katie
tear and for Alistair teaser

CONCLUSION
Conclusively, more than this, these are the need to
evolve a new design guideline that would ensure formational as well as
appropriate from settlement. This been the thrust of the research aspect of
this work.
Ludwig Mies Vander Rohe described very succinctly
the valve of Architectural his famous pronouncement that in Architecture “less
is more” is demonstrated in his design which as simple and have exposed
structural simple and have exposed structural element serving as aesthetic as
well as a functional purpose, it is believed that the design consideration
allowed would ensure that the design achieved and the final design for the
proposed project would thoroughly befit what Mis Vander Role would “less is
more”
1.10 LITERATURE REVIEW AND CASE STUDIES
It is important to know about crops
which the Nigerian farmers grows, the condition under which they are grown and
their important in the economy but, only oblique reference were made to the
methods a farmer uses, and a little was said of the problems he encounters, the
local method of farming in Nigeria was little variation from what obtains in
other parts of Africa.
They derive raw materials from
agriculture conducted for the most part
by peasants cultivators.
A peasant cultivator is a person
who depends on his labour to assist him put such hired labour is of minor
importance in the economy.
Mostly, peasants farmer depends on
hoe and cutlass for practically all the farm operations. These tools vary in
shape and size from place. In the high forest zone of the country, the small
farmers must clear thick push every three or four years. Each year he must
clear prepare heaps for yams and ridges for crops like maize, groundnut,
cassava, guinea corn and this is done with the aid of hoe.
During
harvest the crude tools are used. The work involved is hard, demanding and
relatively unproductive when compared with mechanized system of farming.
