The Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) recently collaborated with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security to host a "National Training Workshop for Extension Master Trainers" in Dutse, Jigawa State. The workshop, themed "Empowering Extension to Scale Ag Innovations," brought together 100 participants from Jigawa, Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto, and Zamfara States.
These participants, from both public and private sector agricultural organisations, are expected to play a crucial role in disseminating knowledge and technologies to frontline extension workers and farming communities. The training focused on TAAT's approaches and innovations, particularly in maize, rice, and wheat production, and was led by the African Agricultural Technology Foundation (AATF), AfricaRice Centre, and The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA).
According to Dr. Solomon Gizaw, Head of the TAAT Clearinghouse, investing in these extension trainers will fortify Nigeria's agricultural transformation.
