Farmers in Nigeria have been charged to adopt climate resilient techniques, as a measure toward sustainable agricultural revolution, amid rising global temperature.
The Director, Forestry Department, under the Federal Ministry of Environment, Hajara Umar Sani, gave the advice during the flagging off ceremony of “Food for All Nations Project” on Thursday, in Abuja.
Represented by an official in the ministry, Ahmed Tijjani Zakirai, Sani noted that, with the foundation of food production being threatened globally by climate change, there is need for collaborative crucial steps to mitigate the effect.
She stressed that sustainable agricultural practices not only mitigate the climate impacts, but also contribute to carbon sequestration, and thereby aid the global fight against climate change.
