FudFarmer Foundation launched to boost women's access in Nigeria's agriculture
Titilayo Adesoga has launched the FudFarmer Foundation to improve access to finance, knowledge, and markets for women working across Nigeria's agricultural value chain. After years of building agribusinesses, she noticed that many women involved in producing, processing, and trading food lack the financing, training, and market links needed to grow their enterprises. The foundation offers interest-free financing, capacity-building programmes, and stronger market linkages to help women overcome these barriers. Adesoga says that when women gain opportunity, they build stronger families, improve food systems, and drive lasting economic growth. The initiative aims to create a more inclusive agricultural ecosystem where talent, not circumstance, determines success. Women interested in the programme can find more details on the founder's Instagram page (linked in the article). Supporters and partners looking to collaborate can also reach out through the same channel. By closing the finance and knowledge gap, the foundation seeks to unlock the potential of women farmers and processors nationwide.
