The Livelihoods Improvement Family Enterprises Programme in the Niger Delta, (LIFE-ND) has said it will collaborate with the state Agricultural Development Programme (ADP) to strengthen extension service delivery to farmers in Edo State.
The National Component Coordinator, Rural Institution Youth and Gender, LIFE-ND, Dr Clement Uwem, made this known during a one-day policy engagement with extension agents on agricultural extension service delivery in Benin last week. x
Uwem said the meeting became necessary because extension services are critical to LIFE-ND projects and agricultural development in Nigeria.
“Agriculture is being carried out in an environment where climate change is affecting food production, what that means is that we now have to use climate-smart agricultural technologies.
