 Women farmers in the country under the platform of Swaffron say they want equal playing field for all genders in the agricultural sector. They argue that implementing their national gender policy will address poverty and ensure food nutrition and sufficiency for the country. To address this worrisome situation, the Ministry of Agriculture in collaboration with the Action Aid Nigeria and other development partners decided to chart a roadmap to inequality in the agricultural sector through the national gender policy. Now initiatives and facilitators explain the importance of the policy and how it can contribute to the growth and development of the agricultural sector. This is also inclusive of the 1999 constitution as amended which tends to provide equality of women empowerment, rich gender culture and enhancing food security. The national gender policy and culture is consistent with the sustainable development goals that addresses the following. One, eradicating poverty as the new one, ending hunger by achieving food security, improving nutrition as sustainable and culture and is as the new two. Ensuring healthy living by promoting well-being for all at all ages and enhancing the empowerment of women and girls. Effective implementation of a policy can actually lead to closing the gender gap in agricultural and rural labor markets. It can contribute to our achieving food security. So that's what we are doing. So we all recognize that more needs to be done and that's why we are organizing this forum to push for more to be done in terms of the policy.
