In this episode, we sit down with Professor Rasak Olajide, Professor of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development at the University of Ibadan, for an important conversation on how agricultural extension can better serve the farmers and important population demographic to the farming and rural sector who are most often left behind.
Across Nigeria, many women farmers, young people, and non-literate smallholders still struggle to access the information, training, and support they need to improve their productivity and livelihoods. These gaps continue to affect food security, rural development, and the future of farming.In this discussion, Professor Olajide explores:
Who the “unreached” farmers really are
Why women farmers often receive less extension support
Why many young people are turning away from agriculture
How illiteracy and poverty limit access to agricultural information
Practical strategies for reaching non-literate and resource-poor farmers
What truly inclusive agricultural extension should look like moving forward
This episode offers valuable insights for farmers, extension agents, policymakers, students, researchers, and anyone committed to building a more inclusive and effective agricultural system in Nigeria.
