The #GFN is about stories, farmers and our diverse stories. To consecrate this purpose, nothing better than listening to Gabriel Carballal 🇺🇾 son of a No-till pioneer at Ausid & onyaole koku 🇳🇬 Powerful woman who always reminds everyone "To help a #farmer, talk to a #farmer"😉

Join us in celebrating #IWD2023 by empowering women farmers with the power of #DigitALL! At CLAME, we're committed to advancing gender equality in agriculture through innovation and technology. Together, let's build a more sustainable and equitable future for all.

Climate change is real, farmers are on the front line taking measures to mitigate its effect yet being the worst hit by it.FAO Director-General QU Dongyu FAO Climate Change & Biodiversity UN Climate Change Climate at State Climate Reality

“Is it any wonder that Africa is home to about one-sixth of the planet’s people, but it produces only a tiny fraction of the world’s food?” shares onyaole koku of Nigeria. Read more here: bit.ly/3KMMn4i #GFNMobilizing

Necessity they say is the mother of invention. We have been working to get farmers in Nigeria to adopt Zero Tillage. Lack of access to machinery has left over 70% of farmers no choice but to do it manually. Farming in Africa is a tough Job.#tailormade4Africaequipment @kokuonyi

With a population of over 200 million very fashionable citizens our BT cotton crop bringss great hope thar our moribund textile factories can be restored. The BT cotton is ball worm resistant. @kokuonyi Arewa Textiles Mahyco Grow

Farming is back breaking work moreso in some climes. Imagine how much physical energy goes into cultivating half a hectare of crop. This is still the norm for most farmers. #tailoredmechanization4foodsecurity @kokuonyi International Fund for Agricultural Development

Our poor yields are compounded by challenges due to under fertilization(high cost) & low quality quality fertilizers. I make the case for gene edited biological solutions that cause staple crop to fix Nitrogen as a catalyst for a food secure Africa. @kokuonyi Pivot Bio

3 years ago we got permits and imported TC banana plants from Isreal.N.B we built shadenets,installed Irrigation and all our selves. Today we have a flourishing plantation with better fruit quality Grand Naine bananas. Farmers are risk takers DIY experts. onyaole koku

In the early days of the plantation we struggled to get our water system installed, after delays with well drilling & wrong advice from "experts" we became the experts with guidiance from GFN colleagues. We have trained our staff who have no formal education to install.@kokuonyi

Did you know the Global Farmer Network is a non-profit org. governed by farmer board members, advisory board members and industry board members? The board hosted their annual meeting in Washington D.C. As we were created by farmers, we are still ran and led by our farmer members!

It was an honour to be amongst a select group of farmers hosted to lunch by the FAO Director General Qu Dongyu. Farmer Voices not only matter but must form an integral part of the policy process on how to build a resilient food system. FAO Director-General QU Dongyu Bayer | Crop Science GlobalFarmerNetwork

It was truly an honour!!

Those right here was my igniter. She is also my mentor, the way she cheers me on makes me keep going. We have a message, I am honoured to be one of the bearers. Farmers leading the fight against hunger must have a place at the table.
