News Agency Nigeria posted an article on the launch of the National Agricultural Technology and Innovation Policy (NATIP) 2022 – 2027. Agriculture is important to the growth and development of the economy, adding that in 2020, agriculture contributed over 25 percent to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The new policy is a deliberate effort by the government to deploy knowledge and good agricultural practices to fast-track agricultural development. Bedru Balana, Acting Chief of Party, Feed the Future Nigeria Agriculture Policy Activity and Research Fellow, IFPRI-Nigeria, said the policy would guide efforts to improve food and nutrition security. “As a long-term collaborator and having engaged extensively in the development of the NATIP, we are very pleased to support this launch event.” Republished in the Nigerian Tribune
