The paper examines adult education practice in agriculture-led development strategy from pedagogical perspective. The paper believes that adult education has the potentialities for development but argues that there are missing elements in the adult education practice that are critical if sustained agricultural growth will be achieved. Instead of andragogy, transformative learning and liberatory method should be embraced. Also, instead of focusing on scientific knowledge systems alone, indigenous practices should be encouraged by Ephraim Wordu 2020. Re-positioning adult education for development to thrive in Nigeria .

Agripreneurship Development Strategy for Economic Recovery and Sustainable De...ijtsrd
Over dependence on crude oil for foreign exchange have led to the steady dwindle in the Agricultural sector performance which was Nigerias main stay prior to the oil boom in the 70s. Currently, Nigerias economy has continued to scuffle to retain its title Africas largest economy with the recent fluctuations in oil prices which have affected the economy negatively which is evident in the low standard of living, and the heightened increase in the cost of goods and services. There is an agreement among scholars that the Nigerian economy should be diversified through agriculture and that Agripreneurship could revamp the current economic situation of the nation. Therefore, increased Agricultural sector performance could lead to economic recovery and sustainable development. Despite the fact that a lot of sensitization programmes, workshops, seminars and presentations have been organized by private and government agencies and organizations also, polices and support Systems were created by the government both in the state and Federal levels so as to enhance the Agricultural sector, yet results from recent studies still indicate that the Agricultural sector performance in Nigeria is low. This indicates that perhaps Agripreneurship has not really been embraced and there are seemingly the existence of some bottlenecks or barriers which inhibit the increase in the Agricultural sector performance of the country, Agriculture is still practiced in subsistence level. Accordingly, the thrust of this study is to explore agripreneurship development as a strategy for economic recovery and sustainable development.

3. Introduction
The Climate Smart Agriculture is planned
with the aim of establishing and promoting
at least 10,000 youth-led farms and
agribusinesses across Africa by 2020; as well
as promoting a youth-led agribusiness
society, reducing poverty and increasing
active youth participation in sustainable
agriculture by 2020. This is in line with the
new SDG goals
4. BACKGROUND
Agriculture accounts for a huge percentage of
Nigeria’s GDP and employs 70% of the population.
With a high population growth rate,
unemployment and youth restiveness and need to
ensure food security, land use change associated
with promotion of agricultural activities in
Nigeria is high. This is especially so regarding
youth participation in Agric. To transform to a
green economy, there is need to promote the
adoption of sustainable technologies through
market incentives that increase the interest and
participation of young people in sustainable Agric
management and livelihood practices.
5. TARGET BENEFICIARY

years in the FCT and neighbouring States of Nigeria

7. Background….
Agricultural systems can be made more
efficient, productive and profitable for young
people to secure their livelihoods and ensure
food security as a strategy to adapt to climate
change by embracing climate smart agriculture.
8. Climate smart agriculture Project is indeed a
unique project which aims to draw young
people out of Poverty, into Sustainable
Agriculture. It adopts a two-pronged
approach of promoting youth-led
farms/agribusinesses and highlighting the
benefits of farming for sustainable
livelihoods. This work changes the poor
image of young persons involved in
agriculture as poor and illiterate, and
promote them as nagropreneurs and
agribusiness experts.
9. Nigeria is one of the 53 African governments who agreed
to make agriculture a top priority in national development
by increasing public investments in agriculture to at least
10 percent. This agreement was signed during the July
2003 African Union Summit in Maputo, Mozambique to
drive one of the most promising African-led initiatives
called the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development
Program (CAADP).
It is worthy of note that the Federal Government has come
up with the Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA)
policy framework to transform the agriculture sector and
make it more viable and attractive to the public and
investors. Secondly, there are several presidential Initiatives
like the Youth Enterprise with Innovation in Nigeria
(YouWiN) and Youth Employment in Agriculture
Programme (YEAP) specifically created to inspire
entrepreneurship in young people.
10. three key challenges in
successfully implementing the
implement:
1. Finance
2. Land for the Incubation
Centre and
3. Innovative financing.
11. The challenges of innovative
financing
The quest for innovative and additional sources of
financing for development has a long lineage. Mobilising
IFD was recognised as a key challenge and objective at
the UN International Conference on Financing for
Development in Monterrey in 2002 (UN 2002). Political-
level discussion has since gathered pace in international
and regional forums including the Commonwealth
Finance Ministers Meeting in 2011 (Commonwealth
Secretariat 2011a), the G8 in 2009 and the G20 in 2011.
Political commitments have been supported by a
growing body of technical work by
international, regional and national organisations,
private sector associations and foundations, and civil
society organisations (CSOs)
12. A large part of Nigerian citizens live in poverty.
This is out of place considering the huge potential
Nigeria has in terms of youthful population and
agricultural resources available.
Rice plantation
13. This project aim to inspire a movement of
young people to take ownership of
initiatives by the Federal Ministry of
Agriculture and Rural Development as well
as advocate for more investments in
agriculture. The plan will also provide an
avenue to increase awareness among policy
makers and national leaders on the
contribution of agricultural investment in
achieving the national growth we all desire
to see.
14. The Sustainable Development Goals are the most
ambitious seen in 2015 and achieving them will require
collective action and Partnership. If we must succeed
and make impact in financing climate smart agriculture,
we must adopt some basic principles of adaptation,
Financing and finance tracking principles, and develop
joint ideologies for measuring the amount of public and
private finance we leverage, drawing on Nigeria’s
collective experience.
