Youth in Agriculture: Nigeria’s Key to Food Security and Economic Growth

In this special LightRay! Media report on Agriculture and youth, we dive deep into the economic manpower of the largest African youth population domiciled in Nigeria.

Nigeria’s agricultural sector, the country’s largest, urgently needs reform to effectively address the pressing issues of food insecurity and youth unemployment. This vital sector contributes a significant 24% to Nigeria’s GDP, yet it’s facing numerous challenges, including an aging farming population, limited access to modern farming technologies, and underutilized arable land. To overcome these hurdles, experts recommend a comprehensive overhaul of agricultural education, investing in irrigation systems, storage facilities, and rural roads, as well as establishing accessible credit facilities and crop insurance programs. By implementing these reforms, Nigeria can unlock the sector’s full potential, provide opportunities for its youthful population, and ensure food security for its growing population.
