In this next episode "Feeding Off The Land", Funmi Iyanda turns the spotlight on agriculture and rural Nigeria.
Journeying into Nigeria’s hinterland, this episode explores the lives and stories of rural Nigerians and their struggle to keep agriculture alive.
Step back in time to an almost forgotten era and listen to magical tales of a hunter, grappling with a dying profession, lost heritage and the future of his progeny.
Witness also, one state government’s radical initiative to combat food insecurity –importing displaced Zimbabwean farming families who have brought their expertise and turned barely tilled land into a highly mechanized and thriving operation. Could this initiative be a pointer to a permanent solution?
