Prof. Adejumo, B.A from FUT Minna.
The webinar aims to shed light on the significant role that women play in household agriculture and how their contributions help stabilize food prices in Nigeria. Through this discussion, participants will gain valuable insights into how women-led agricultural activities support food security and combat inflation in the country.
Key Discussion Points:
