Insecurity Impeding Our Food Security Efforts – Women Farmers
Insecurity Impeding Our Food Security Efforts – Women Farmers
Small Scale Women Farmers Association of Nigeria (SWOFON) says increased spate of insecurity is impeding the attainment of food security in the country. The association is therefore calling on the authorities to beef up farmland security.
SWOFON National President, Mary Ishaya, was speaking at the review of the national agriculture budget organised by the Centre for Social Justice (CSJ), in Abuja.
According to her, the attainment of countrywide food security would be unattainable if the security situation is not addressed, noting that the attacks were not just on female farmers alone, she added that the situation has forced a lot of them out of their farms.
