Abstract
This paper focused on strategies for enhancing family farming in Nigeria. It
reviewed the concept and importance of family farming. It highlighted the
aims and objectives of International Year of Family Farming (IFYY) and
examined family farming in relation to its relevance and practices in Nigeria.
It further discussed the obstacles to family farming and ways that can make
family farming in Nigeria. It was concluded that many strategies have not
been put in place to enhance family farming in Nigeria. It was
recommended, among others, that the Ministry of Agriculture and Natural
Resources, at all levels, should periodically organise training programmes on
family farming to strengthen family farmers.
