For most of the last 10 years, the deteriorating security situation in Michika and Madagali Local Government Areas of Adamawa state, Northeast Nigeria, has taken a devastating toll on most households. Inability to access farmlands for fear of attacks forces farmers to resort to farming close to their homes with some compelled to farm on arid grounds. These, including food shortage and lack of means of livelihoods, have left affected households even more vulnerable.
Through support from the World Food Programme, close to 1,134 farmers across Michika and Madagali in Adamawa, received support this season to grow Maize, beans, rice, groundnut, including fertilize and training on rain-fed farming
Some of these farmers, mostly women are optimistic for bumper harvests this farming season, due to the support they received from the United Nations World Food Programme, attributing it to the training and farm inputs such as seeds and fertilizers they received from CCDRN under the WFP 2020 livelihood project.
This documentary features 33-year old Hauwa John, one of the women who benefited from the rain-fed farming training, seeds, and fertilizers provided by CCDRN as part of the project and she is confident about plenteous harvest in view of this support.
