Women farmers and activists @Wusemarket today. Securing #landrights is in everyone's interest. #Women2Kilimanjaro

[ActivistaNigeria @ActivistaNG]

Many of us have had to reduce the quantity of our produce as a result of transportation challenge #FeedingNaija @akin_adesina @NOIweala

[ActivistaNigeria @ActivistaNG]

We need government to focus on developing the road networks in farming communities - Mary Afan #FeedingNaija @akin_adesina @NOIweala

[ActivistaNigeria @ActivistaNG]

Another challenge we are faced with is lack of access to land - Mary Afan #FeedingNaija @akin_adesina @2faceidibia @NOIweala @theRealDakore

[ActivistaNigeria @ActivistaNG]

Even our limited farmlands have been polluted by mining activities hence reducing our productivity - Mary Afan #FeedingNaija @akin_adesina

[ActivistaNigeria @ActivistaNG]

@mckinleycharles Ownership of land is vested in male members of our society and this limits access of women farmers to land #FeedingNaija

[ActivistaNigeria @ActivistaNG]

Government should provide legal backing for women to control the farmlands #FeedingNaija @akin_adesina @mckinleycharles @ActionAidNG

[McKinley @mckinleycharles]

.@ActivistaNG Mary Afan can u explain to us why you don't have access to adequate farmland? What can govt do? #FeedingNaija #WorldFoodDay

[ActivistaNigeria @ActivistaNG]

@mckinleycharles We need government to grant women use rights for lands that are not currently being used in the rural areas #FeedingNaija

[ActivistaNigeria @ActivistaNG]

Government should facilitate zero-interest credit facility for us to acquire these farm machinery #FeedingNaija @akin_adesina

[ActionAid Nigeria @ActionAidNG]
