A Farmer’s Fight Against Food Waste

For years, Rahinatu Lawal watched as heaps of fresh tomatoes harvested in her community went to waste due to inadequate storage facilities and a lack of processing options. Determined to tackle the problem, she began processing and preserving unsold tomatoes instead of letting them rot. She credits the Farmers Field and Business School under the Acting Now project in Nigeria for equipping her with the skills to do so.
