Nigeria is facing one of its most severe food crises in decades, with 30.6 million people projected to face acute food and nutrition insecurity between June and August 2025 according to the FAO's Cadre Harmonisé.
The crisis is caused by multiple factors including prolonged conflict in the northeast, banditry and displacement in the northwest, erratic rainfall and droughts linked to climate change, and inflation that makes basic food commodities unaffordable for millions.
PISA Hearts Humanitarian Foundation is a development-focused nonprofit working in vulnerable communities that is positioning itself as a catalyst for sustainable rural transformation through its Smart-Agro Innovation project.
The SAI project is an initiative designed to fuse agriculture, technology, and human capital development in Nigeria's poorest communities, offering comprehensive support including healthcare, agronomic training, financial inclusion, and climate resilience strategies.
The foundation aims to reach 10,000 smallholder farmers and vulnerable households by December 2026, and estimates it will require $25 million to fully scale the program across three states.
Unlike large commercial farms or international institutions, the foundation focuses on strengthening smallholder cooperatives that produce more than 70% of Nigeria's food, using a grassroots approach that strengthens entire communities rather than individual households.
The three-pronged approach includes: 1) Financial inclusion for cooperative members through grant and loan systems, 2) Capacity building in climate-smart agriculture and cooperative leadership, and 3) Market linkages connecting rural farmers to processors and off-takers.
Smallholder cooperatives are essential as they produce more than 70% of Nigeria's food and provide the backbone of national food supply by pooling resources, accessing capital, and creating bargaining power for farmers.
Smallholder cooperatives remain underfunded, structurally fragile, and cannot thrive without proper investment as their resources are insufficient to meet the growing demand for their services.
