Financing and Training Imperatives for Resilient Agriculture in Nigeria
Abstract
This chapter focuses on the financing and training imperatives for resilient agriculture in Nigeria. A proposed twin-track approach to addressing the challenge of agriculture as a development issue in Nigeria involves both encouraging agri-business and supporting the large population of smallholders. On the basis of supporting the large population of smallholder farmers, this chapter highlights the financial and training needs for the efficient practice of resilient agriculture. Discussions in this chapter are based on secondary data obtained from relevant sources. Supporting farmers for the purpose of resilient agriculture requires conscious investment in generation, development, and dissemination of relevant agricultural practices for agricultural intensification and sustainable use of natural resources. In effect, finance and training in support of the farmers are called for. Against the background that there is low government investment in agriculture, and because agriculture is a private sector activity, special funding mechanisms that incorporate public-private partnerships that deliver financial solutions are recommended. With respect to training, resilient agricultural practices should form part of the curriculum in the primary, secondary, and tertiary schools in Nigeria.
