WEBINAR: The Role of Horticulture During COVID-19

20 August 2020.  The Role of Horticulture During COVID-19. Organised by Ag2Nut Nigeria, the

ANH Academy and the Horticultural Society of Nigeria.

Evidence shows horticulture can foster food security, particularly in urban settings where access to healthy options is limited but needed to ensure adequate nutrition and prevent non-communicable diseases. Foods such as fruits, vegetables and spices play a key role in the health and wellbeing of families and communities. The COVID-19 pandemic is putting diets and food security are in jeopardy around the world, with markets, affordability and access to healthy and acceptable options out of reach for many.
