World Food Day, 2014

Today is World Food Day! The 2014 World Food Day theme is ‘Family Farming: feeding the world, caring for the earth’. More than half of Nigeria’s food is produced by smallholder farmers and on family farms. Propcom Mai-karfi works with the private sector to stimulate better access to agricultural goods and services such as mechanisation and farm inputs for rural smallholder farmers in northern Nigeria. Smallholders and family farms are pivotal to food security. 2014 is also the International Year of Family Farming.
