WOMEN TO TAKE DRIVING SEAT IN NIGERIA'S MALE-DOMINATED FARMING INDUSTRY

A new initiative by farming collective Alluvial Agriculture seeks to level the field for female farmers. The company, which provides education and market access for smallholder producers across Africa, has begun training and financially supporting 50 women across 15 Nigerian states to become tractor owner-operators. The programme is part of a joint initiative with Mastercard Foundation, with training from Tata International Nigeria.
