The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) is distributing agricultural inputs to 210,000 conflict-affected farmers in Nigeria’s North-East. The assistance targets farmers in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe states. According to reports, the FAO provides a package that includes crop inputs such as seedlings and fertilisers, as well as livestock-related support through livestock feed. The programme is aimed at improving farming capacity and strengthening food security in areas affected by conflict and related disruption to agricultural activities. The distribution is described as having started, with inputs intended to help farmers restart or scale up production during the planting period. While the outlets focus on the scale of the intervention and the types of support delivered, both accounts present the initiative as part of FAO’s broader efforts to reduce the impact of conflict on livelihoods and food availability in the region. No alternative timelines, locations, or additional partner details are highlighted in the provided excerpts.
