The Nation Newspaper Food security: Resuscitate farming practice in schools, lawmaker urges Makinde
through the state Ministry of Education to reintroduce the practice of school gardens in both government and private schools/institutions across the state as a means of boosting food security.
The lawmaker who enjoined the state government to provide necessary logistics and support for the reintroduction and sustenance of school gardens to enhance this practice, advocated a day set aside each week in schools for agricultural practicals on the school farms. “When matured, the crops would be sold, given out to teachers or staff or sold to the local markets as a source of Internally Generated Revenue for the school.
“By so doing, it is believed that each household will imbibe the spirit of having a House garden to cultivate crops for domestic consumption.”
