The double tragedy of climate change and COVID-19 pandemic is posing a serious threat to the possibility of achieving the United Nations SDG goal of Zero hunger by year 2030 in Nigeria, Africa and the world at large. From shortage of labour to increased crop food wastage, the novel coronavirus outbreak has put an enormous strain on the world agri-food sector and especially on small-scale producers in Nigeria. Movement restrictions, border closures resulting to disruptions in the shipping and aviation industries have made it more difficult to continue food production and transport agricultural produce internationally- placing countries with few alternative food sources at high risk. Whether we will be able to recover from these looming food crises only depends on the kind of approaches we take. To place Nigeria ahead of the Coronavirus, the government and other concerned stakeholders in the private sectors will need to create synergies in food technologies and agriculture. Join the team of experts led by the Honorable Minister of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMARD), Alh. Sabo Nanono in discussing how Nigeria can achieve food security in the face of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Click here to register for this National Virtual Conference.
