Stakeholders at a one- day training programme for women farmers in Ilorin, Kwara State, have called on the government at all levels to prioritise activities
They also called on the governments to formulate deliberate policy that would bring about all- year round farming across the country and not just during rainy season, as this will promote food security and sufficiency.
One of the resource persons at the training programme, Dr Olatunji Yusuf of the Agricultural Economy department of KWASU, said the university organised the programme to train the women farmers on artificial intelligence needed to mitigate effects of climate change on agricultural production. Mrs Taiwo whose farm is located at Amoyo in Ifelodun local government area of the state said, “I’m delighted about this programme. This will change our perspective about farming and will increase our production.”
