Agriculture remains one of Nigeria’s most important sectors for employment, food security, and economic growth. However, many young people lack access to practical training and modern farming knowledge. The Leventis Foundation Training Programme addresses this gap by developing skilled, self-reliant farmers who can improve productivity, create jobs, and contribute meaningfully to food system transformation within their communities. Graduates of the programme are empowered to become change agents in Nigeria’s agricultural and rural economy.
