| Abstract | In August, HortiNigeria hosted a youth challenge in celebration of International Youth Day, aimed at increasing awareness of the HortiNigeria program and promoting climate-smart agricultural inputs among young entrepreneurs. Participants shared videos of their farm fields on social media, highlighting innovative technologies they employ. Six winners received climate-smart agricultural inputs valued at over $1,015, provided by HortiNigeria and Solokad Multiventures Ltd. The CEO of Solokad Multiventures emphasized the transformative potential of youth in Nigeria’s agriculture sector. Winners received various tools, including transplanters, nursery trays, and motorized sprayers. One winner, Opeyemi Ajibola, shared how the challenge boosted his confidence and increased his visibility within the farming community. This initiative is part of HortiNigeria’s broader efforts to build partnerships, improve market systems, and embrace a food systems approach to agriculture. Other key activities highlighted include building partnerships to bridge demand and supply gaps, organizing a Vegetable Sourcing Mission to facilitate B2B linkages, and conducting a Climate Smart Action awareness campaign. | |
