Kogi State Launches Land Restoration Program To Combat Degradation, Boost Agriculture

Kogi State has embarked on a major Land Restoration program under its Agro-Climatic Resilience in Semi-Arid Landscapes (ACReSAL) project, with the aim of revitalising degraded land and boosting agricultural productivity. 

The project, which has technical backing from the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), targets the restoration of 200 hectares of degraded land across 11 locations, including Ajovo, Achoze, Odugbo, Kabba, Eti Ete, Ojudu, Ocheja, Kpata, Owara, and Okumi.

This initiative aims to empower farmers by offering training, technical support, and financial assistance to help them adopt climate-smart agricultural practices. These practices include the cultivation of drought-resistant crop varieties and agroforestry, which are expected to improve both the land’s health and the livelihoods of the farming communities.

As part of the program, the state has begun preparing the land through ploughing and ridging using tractors. Taking advantage of the late rainy season, farmers are receiving drought-resistant seedlings such as cowpeas, sesame, cassava, and maize. The goal is to promote sustainable land management practices that enhance ecological resilience and secure better futures for local communities.

By restoring degraded lands and introducing innovative farming techniques, Kogi State aims to set an example in sustainable agriculture, ensuring long-term productivity and environmental protection.
