As we celebrate World Radio Day and highlight its crucial role in combating climate change, radio remains a vital source of information, education, and community engagement, especially for marginalized and vulnerable populations. As the world grapples with the climate crisis, radio’s reach and accessibility make it an essential tool for raising awareness, promoting sustainable practices, and mobilizing climate action. By leveraging radio’s power, we can inspire global solidarity, drive behavioral change, and work towards a more sustainable future for all.

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.
