WWOOF Nigeria Media Director: Empowering Organic Certification for Nigerian Farmers

Certified organic farmers in Nigeria are rare, and obtaining certification can be a challenging and tedious process due to strict standards and terrain. To tackle this issue, WWOOF Nigeria and Vantage Organic Food Pvt India signed an agreement last year to certify over 2000 farmers. As the Media Director for this project, I am proud to be part of this effort to empower Nigerian farmers and promote sustainable agriculture.

Vantage Organic Food Pvt India is a major exporter of certified organic oil seeds to Europe, America, and Asia, and is expanding its reach to Tanzania and Nigeria. Through this project, farmers from Oyo, Osun, Ogun, Kogi, Benue, and Nasarawa were engaged to participate in the certification program. Stay tuned to learn more about our progress and the impact of certified organic farming in Nigeria.

 Empowering Farmers through Organic Farming Training

Organizing and conducting training for farmers can be a challenging task. At WWOOF Nigeria, we traveled far and wide to engage farmers and their leaders, teaching them the benefits of organic farming practices. In this photo, Benjamin Olatilo, the head of WWOOF Nigeria, and Afolabi Badmus are seen conducting a training clinic deep in the forest of one of the 'BUDOS' in Otu Oyo state.

Through our training programs, we aim to empower farmers with the knowledge and skills they need to adopt sustainable farming practices and improve their livelihoods. We believe that by promoting organic farming practices, we can protect the environment, promote healthy living, and contribute to the development of local communities.
