World Food Day, celebrated globally on October 16th, is a powerful reminder of the importance of food security and the role sustainable agriculture plays in feeding the world’s growing population. This year, as we reflect on the progress made in agriculture, we also look ahead with great excitement to a significant upcoming event—AGRISUMMEX 2025, Nigeria’s premier International Agriculture Summit and Exhibition.
Why World Food Day Matters
World Food Day was established by the United Nations in 1979 to raise awareness about hunger, food insecurity, and the critical need for sustainable agricultural practices. It serves as a platform for organizations, governments, and individuals to highlight the challenges we face in ensuring everyone has access to healthy, nutritious food.
In Nigeria, where agriculture remains a cornerstone of the economy, World Food Day is especially meaningful. Our agricultural sector supports livelihoods, drives economic growth, and plays a vital role in ensuring food security for our rapidly expanding population. However, challenges such as climate change, inefficient farming practices, and limited access to modern technology continue to affect our ability to achieve sustainable growth. There is something more genuine about a live presenter answering real questions in the course of a presentation.
Introducing AGRISUMMEX 2025
With these challenges in mind, the AGRISUMMEX 2025 Summit and Exhibition promises to be a landmark event in addressing them and showcasing the future of Nigerian agriculture. Scheduled from 18th to 22nd May 725 at the iconic Eagle Square in Abuja, this international gathering will bring together key players across the agricultural value chain.
Hosted by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security, in collaboration with Solomon’s Porch Nigeria Limited, AGRISUMMEX 2025 is set to be Nigeria’s largest international agriculture summit to date. It aims to foster partnerships, encourage innovation, and facilitate knowledge-sharing to elevate the sector to new heights.
