Benue State is known as Nigeria’s “Food Basket.”
Yet many communities are facing increasing challenges:

• Farmer–herder conflicts
• Climate change impacts on farming
• Rising food prices
• Malnutrition and poor diet diversity

When conflict disrupts farming, food systems suffer.
When climate shocks hit, livelihoods shrink.

Peace, agriculture, and nutrition are deeply connected.

This is why the Scale-Up: Strengthening Food Security Sensitization, Awareness and Policy Engagement in Nigeria project matters.

Because sustainable peace begins with sustainable food systems.

“If you want to make peace with your enemy, you have to work with your enemy. Then he becomes your partner.”
— Nelson Mandela

Peace begins with intention. And as Nelson Mandela reminds us, lasting peace requires courage, the courage to engage, to listen, and to transform opposition into partnership.
