Nigerian Farmers Urged to Embrace Irrigation for Food Sustainability
In Nigeria, farmers and agribusiness owners are being encouraged to embrace irrigation methods to ensure food sustainability throughout the year. The Lower Benue River Basin Development Authority, represented by Terese Ninga, emphasized the importance of irrigation tools during a capacity-building event held across Plateau, Benue, Kogi, and Nasarawa states.
The initiative aligns with the vision of reducing poverty and ensuring food security, as advocated by President Bola Tinubu. Key stakeholders like Abeam Global Resources are working towards empowering grassroots farmers in the region through knowledge-sharing and grant utilization.
The focus is on making agriculture attractive to youth and women, ultimately contributing to the nation's food security goals.
