At the AfDB’s 2026 Annual Meetings in Brazzaville, a civil society coalition called on the Bank to end funding for factory farming and prioritise agroecological, community-led food systems across Africa.
Niger State has flagged off its 2026 farming season with 250 tractors, 50 combine harvesters and 150,000 bags of fertiliser distributed across all 25 LGAs. Governor Bago targets 500,000 metric tons of food and 120,000 hectares of cultivated land this season.
