Healthy and fertile soil allow society to produce essentials such as food and timber to sustain itself and help address food insecurity and income inequality. Fidelia (pictured above) is a rural farmer. Before the RUWAI intervention through the Seed To Wealth Project, where we are helping poor rural Nigerian women and smallholder farmers to address poverty and land degradation through sustainable land management and alternative income skills, she had no idea why her land could not produce as expected. Luckily she received our support through training and supply of economic tree seedlings, crops, and skills to sustain our effort. As part of our Monitoring and Evaluation policy, we visited her home garden recently and this photo and many others, which we didn’t send, was what we captured. She displayed some crops she’s preserving for the next farming season. So our support taught her why and how to harvest and store some for subsequent years. That’s the only way you can be sure it is organic.
