Increased provision of monitored agricultural funding by governments will certainly make agriculture more rewarding for Women and Youths showing keen interests in farming.
In Nigeria; many Women and Youths are really tired of urban lifestyles which provide limited options for their future prospects. In Osun State, Nigeria, the government is providing micro-credit facilities to assist this particular category of citizens to come into the rural areas and embrace profitable farming. Moreover; the World Bank has provided fund for the State Government in executing what we call "O-RAMP" (Osun Rural Access Mobility Programme) which makes rural roads motor-able for all-seasons of the year.
These sustainable funding approach will certainly encourage more Women and Youths to come into farming.
