Women in Agriculture: Insecurity our biggest challenge — Farmer

I get my seeds from the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture and Agricultural Development Programme .I’m into poultry farming too, so I cultivate the maize and use part of it as feed for my poultry. I do the corn in a large quantity for feed formulation. In the north, maize serves for different meals, so there is market for it. I cultivate beans because it has nutrients, which is why a lot of people buy it.

It’s not sexual harassment but I have been harassed by herdsmen. But I did not lose my life. I have many women who have lost their husbands to herdsmen on the farm.My biggest challenge is insecurity and this is also a national problem because we cannot even talk of food security. It takes only a secured human being to go to farm. But if your life is at risk you will just go to farm the way you want.
