Nigeria – 2-5 September 2024 – As part of its ongoing commitment to enhancing food security in African countries, the Islamic Organization for Food Security (IOFS) has strengthened its collaboration with Nigerian farmers through a highly impactful training program on "Converting Agricultural Wastes to Organo-Mineral Fertilizers through Composting." This initiative not only underscores the IOFS's dedication to promoting sustainable agricultural practices among its member countries but also directly tackles the pressing challenge of soil degradation, a significant threat to food security, particularly in Africa.
Recognizing the importance of sustainable agricultural methods, the IOFS is actively addressing this challenge across its member states. This training program is a key component of the IOFS's broader strategy to enhance food security and resilience through capacity building and innovation. The initiative equipped farmers and agricultural professionals with essential skills to improve soil fertility and boost agricultural productivity.
