Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture is central to life, livelihood and survival. Without food - the direct by-product of agriculture, human existence will be materially jeopardized. Notwithstanding the central role of agriculture to human survival, investment in agricultural projects has gained recent traction in light of the increasing concerns around climate change impacts, adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices and global food insecurity with the consequential need for access to food, especially in less developed and emerging economies. Accordingly, it is therefore critical that the sector is not only receiving sufficient legislative and policy attention and adequate human capital commitment but also attracting sufficient funding for its sustainable development. To the extent the attainment of food availability and security, especially in emerging economies, now constitute a major priority goal of the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this paper briefly evaluates the typical agricultural and food value chain whilst analyzing the relationship between the agricultural sector, climate-change and the SDGs. In addition, this paper then assesses the state of play of the Nigerian Agricultural Sector, extant challenges and its prevailing legislative and policy architecture. Whilst this article briefly interrogates certain policy issues in the sector, the focus is on examination of the wide variety of available financing options as well as a practical and transactional approach in its analysis of the risk factors typically associated with food and agricultural projects (like other developmental projects) and the available mitigating instruments, particularly in the context of project financing and development.

This book was released on 2023-07-27 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The evaluation assessed FAO's contribution to Nigeria from 2016 to 2022, focusing on national priorities for the agriculture sector and food systems, with a special lens on gender equality, leave no one behind principles, the humanitarian–development–peace nexus and climate change mainstreaming. FAO has supported the government in enhancing food and nutrition security, disaster risk reduction, resilience building and evidence-based policymaking. However, support for conflict-affected populations, climate change mainstreaming and sustainability remains uncertain. The evaluation recommends prioritizing flagship initiatives, engaging ministries, national actors and implementing a gender stocktaking exercise to identify those at risk of being left behind.

Download or read book Insect resistant cowpea in Nigeria An ex ante economic assessment of a crop improvement initiative written by Phillip, Dayo and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2019-12-24 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since oil prices’ decline in 2014, agriculture has received renewed interest in Nigeria as a key sector for achieving sustainable growth and generating foreign exchange. One of the identified obstacles to achieving these goals is the need to improve agricultural productivity. Cowpea is one of the priority crops identified for productivity improvement. Currently cowpea yields are below 900 kg/ha, but it has been shown that with the right technology, these yields could potentially double. One of the main biotic constraints for cowpea is the infestation of the insect pod borer (Maruca Vitrata). No conventional variety has been developed to resist this pest, but with the use of biotechnology and the sustained collaboration of national and international partners over many years, there is now a genetically modified pod-borer-resistant (or more generally insect-resistant) cowpea. This paper estimates the potential economic benefits of adopting this new technology and the cost that Nigeria will incur if this adoption is delayed. The analysis is conducted using an economic surplus partial equilibrium model run with the newly developed DREAMpy software, data drawn from the Nigeria General Household Survey 2015–2016, estimations using these data, and other local sources. The estimations show that if the insect-resistant cowpea is planted in 2020, the net present-value benefits for producers and consumers would be around US$350 million, 70 percent of which would be accrued by producers. The distribution of benefits by region show that Sudan-Sahel will accrue the most benefits, given the relative concentration of cowpea in this region and the estimated higher adoption rates and yield changes. Almost half of producers’ total benefit will go to large producers, who represent only 20 percent of all cowpea producers, while small producers, representing half of all cowpea producers, will receive 24 percent of the benefit. Additionally, the analysis shows that a five-year regulatory delay will decrease the estimated benefits by around 35 percent. While Nigeria already has in place a competent biosafety system that will most likely ensure that these regulatory delays will not materialize, these estimations highlight the importance of having an evidence-based, efficient, predictable, and transparent regulatory system to ensure that the expected economic benefits are realized.
