FG inaugurates six-year policy to promote innovation, investment in agric sector (The Cable)
The Cable (Nigeria) published an article announcing the six-year national agricultural technology and innovation policy (NATIP) from 2022 to 2027 to enhance agribusiness in the country. The policy also aims to increase resilience and digital agriculture, thereby, promoting agricultural investments.
Bedru Balana, country program leader, IFPRI, said women and youth should be mainstreamed across the agricultural value chains, within the framework of innovation and enterprises. “This is crucial as Nigeria continues to focus on creating jobs through agriculture for its growing youth and vulnerable population in the face of the current economic and environmental sectors, and climate shocks among others.”
