Description

Agricultural extension systems in Nigeria have historically focused on production at the expense of market demand. This has often resulted in inefficiencies, low farmer incomes, and post-harvest losses. JICA's SHEP approach represents a paradigm shift towards market-oriented extension. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the redirection of Nigeria's extension system through the lens of the JICA SHEP Nigeria Project and how the SHEP Nigeria Project has influenced extension practices, focusing on methodologies, impacts, challenges, and future policy directions. It argues that market-oriented agricultural extension is central to improving farmer livelihoods, enhancing food security, and fostering rural development in Nigeria. The subsequent chapters analyze implementation strategies, outcomes and impacts, challenges, opportunities, lessons from other countries, policy recommendations, and implications for food security and rural development; and implications for food security and rural development; and a way forward for Nigeria's extension system.
