THE FARMER WHO FEEDS EVERYONE BUT MAY STRUGGLE TO FEED HIS OWN FAMILY. ๐พ
Before food reaches our tables, someone has already worked for it.
Someone woke up early.
Someone entered the farm.
Someone planted the seed.
Someone fought the weeds, the weather, pests and other challenges.
Someone spent months waiting for harvest.
That person is the farmer.
We often see the food in the market, but we don't always see the person behind it.
A farmer can spend months working under the sun, yet face difficulties when it is time to sell the harvest.
Poor roads can make transportation difficult.
High farming costs can reduce profit.
Lack of storage can force farmers to sell quickly.
And unpredictable weather can destroy months of hard work.
Yet, despite all these challenges, farmers continue to produce the food that feeds our communities.
We should not only appreciate farmers with words. We should support systems that make farming more profitable and sustainable.
Because when the farmer suffers, the entire food system feels it.
๐พ To every farmer working hard to feed Nigeria: your work matters.
๐ฌ What is the biggest challenge farmers face in your community?
Poor roads, high cost of inputs, lack of storage, access to finance, or something else?
