The University of Uyo Women in Agriculture (WIA) association is an excellent example of empowering women in agriculture. With their dedication to researching, producing, and managing food products, these professionals play a vital role in helping to feed, clothe, and sustain the world’s population. Kandi Development Services recognizes and applauds the achievements of these women, who are making a substantial contribution to agriculture.
The WIA’s 2024 commemoration of International Women’s Day at the Amunice Event Centre in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, was a historic event that highlighted women’s achievements and contributions to agriculture. The event provided an opportunity to highlight the importance of gender equality and women’s empowerment in agriculture. It also highlighted the importance of encouraging more women to pursue careers in agriculture and providing them with the necessary support and tools to succeed.
Kandi Development Services, an organization dedicated to diversity and inclusion, fully supports initiatives such as the University of Uyo’s WIA program. We believe empowering women in agriculture is both a social justice issue and a sensible business decision. According to research, women’s participation in agriculture improves productivity, food security, and overall economic growth significantly. By promoting gender equality in agriculture, we can achieve women’s full potential as key drivers of sustainable development. This year’s International Women’s Day topic, “Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress,” is especially relevant to our cause at Kandi Development Services.
We acknowledge women’s critical role in cultivating crops, maintaining the land, and guaranteeing food security for future generations. Women’s contributions to agriculture must be recognised and celebrated, as must the promotion of opportunities that enable them to thrive and achieve in this crucial sector. The WIA program at the University of Uyo is a beacon of hope and inspiration for women in agriculture in Nigeria and globally. They are dismantling obstacles and fostering a more inclusive and sustainable agricultural sector through research, training, and advocacy. We applaud the WIA’s dedication to improving gender equality, empowering women, and promoting agricultural innovation.
As a corporation dedicated to sustainable development and social responsibility, Kandi Development Services supports initiatives that empower women in agriculture. We believe investing in women’s education, training, and entrepreneurship in agriculture will benefit individual women, families, communities, and the agricultural industry.
Finally, we congratulate the University of Uyo Women in Agriculture on their successful celebration of International Women’s Day. We stand in solidarity with them and pledge to provide continued assistance for their vital initiatives in improving gender equality and women’s empowerment in agriculture. Together, we can build a more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable future for all.
