TechnoServe Builds a Case for Regenerative Agriculture Investments in Coffee – Daily Coffee News by Roast Magazine

With research supported by two of the world’s largest coffee companies, the United States-based nonprofit TechnoServe is making a business case for investing in regenerative agriculture in the coffee sector.
The large-scale investment appeal arrives amid growing industry buzz surrounding the concept of regenerative agriculture. It also comes as international development organizations face new funding roadblocks.
In “The Regenerative Coffee Investment Case,” the nonprofit said that transitioning to regenerative agriculture could increase smallholder coffee farmer income by an average of 62%, and boost production and exports by approximately 30%. Additionally, the transition would reduce current greenhouse gas emissions associated with farm activities by 3.5 million tons of CO2e annually, while restoring and protecting natural environments.
“These findings confirm what TechnoServe has observed over decades of working with coffee farmers: Regenerative agriculture is not only good for nature, but essential for smallholder livelihoods and the future of the industry,” Paul Stewart, global coffee director at TechnoServe, said in an announcement of the report. “It’s an investment that pays off for farmers, businesses and the planet.”
The numbers above reflect modeling associated with smallholder farmers in nine key coffee-producing countries — Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Honduras, Indonesia, Uganda, Ethiopia, Peru and Kenya.
The report estimates that investment in smallholder adoption of regenerative agriculture averaging $560 million per year over seven years in seven of these countries — Brazil and Vietnam excluded — would result in $2.6 billion in additional coffee exports, and $2.1 billion in farmer income each year.

The report was supported by Swiss multinational Nestlé and its coffee-focused subsidiary Nespresso, global coffee giant JDE Peet’s, and the nonprofit Rudy & Alice Ramsey Foundation.
The report’s call for a seven-year, $4 billion investment comes at a time when U.S. government-supported aid for coffee sector development projects has essentially come to a halt. USAID, which has been gutted under the Donald Trump administration, has been funding TechnoServe-led projects since at least the 1980s, including multiple coffee sector projects launched since 2020.
The report calls for substantial private-sector investment in regenerative agriculture, as well as collaboration among “investors, industry, government and service providers.” Given its vast scope, the report also suggests that the scale of investments and their impacts will vary based on region and existing practices.
Generally speaking, the report focused on typical, or “archetypal,” smallholder farm scenarios for each of the countries, excluding the kinds of large estate-style farms that account for approximately 20-40% of the world’s coffee production.
In a press release from TechnoServe, representatives of Nestlé and JDE Peet’s each praised their respective companies’ existing sustainability schemes, while signaling support for future investments in regenerative agriculture.
“We’ve experienced first-hand how implementing regenerative practices help farmers tackle long-standing challenges like profitability and climate impact,” Nadia Hoarau-Mwaura, global responsible sourcing director for JDE Peet’s, said. “This detailed study offers a clear, practical path to implementing regenerative agriculture at scale — one that requires industry-wide collaboration. At JDE Peet’s, we are proud to support and help lead this transition.”

DOJ Reportedly Investigates UnitedHealth’s Medicare Advantage Business, UHG Pushes Back – Home Health Care News
The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) health care fraud unit is investigating UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH) for criminal Medicare fraud, according to a report from the Wall Street Journal (WSJ).
The exact details of the criminal allegations against UnitedHealth Group were not clear, according to the article, but the federal investigation is said to relate to the company’s Medicare Advantage (MA) business.
On its end, UnitedHealth Group denied being notified by the DOJ about the criminal investigation reported by the WSJ.
“We stand by the integrity of our Medicare Advantage program,” UnitedHealth Group wrote in a press statement on Wednesday.
UnitedHealth Group and the DOJ did not immediately respond to Home Health Care News’ request for comments.
UnitedHealth Group is one of the largest companies in the country and has an array of associated business lines. UnitedHealth Group’s provider services arm, Optum, owns home-based care company LHC Group.
Additionally, UnitedHealth Group’s UnitedHealthcare is the nation’s largest MA provider. The company was responsible for 29% of all MA enrollment in 2024. Overall, 32.8 million individuals enrolled in an MA plan last year, according to data from KFF.
If confirmed, this wouldn’t be UnitedHealth Group’s only battle with the DOJ. In late 2024, the DOJ sued UnitedHealth Group to quash its proposed merger with Amedisys Inc. (Nasdaq: AMED), believing that it would negatively impact patients, payers and home health workers.
UnitedHealth Group first entered a deal for Optum to acquire Amedisys for $3.3 billion in 2023.
UnitedHealth Group and Amedisys are scheduled to begin mediation with the DOJ over its plans to acquire the home-based care company on Aug. 18.
The companies have made two attempts to divest assets and mitigate antitrust concerns, including plans to sell home health and hospice assets to the Pennant Group (Nasdaq: PNTG) and BrightSpring Health Services (Nasdaq: BTSG). On Monday, the DOJ reportedly rejected this deal.
The news of a DOJ investigation also comes right on the heels of UnitedHealth Group’s announcement that Andrew Witty has stepped down as CEO. On Tuesday, the company also revealed that board Chairman Stephen Hemsley — who previously served as CEO from 2006 to 2017 — would be his replacement, effective immediately.

Malaria in Nigeria: New vaccine rolls out in world's worst-affected country – BBC
Nigeria, which has more malaria deaths than any other country in the world, has begun rolling out a vaccine against the disease for the first time.
The West African nation accounts for almost a third of those who die from malaria each year.
The vaccine being introduced – called R21/Matrix-M – is the second to be approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is being given to children between five and 15 months old.
Researchers say it is 75% effective but health experts recommend using it alongside other malaria prevention tools, such as mosquito nets and insecticides.
The roll-out started in two of the worst-affected states – Bayelsa and Kebbi – and the plan is to expand it to the rest of the country by next year.
Happiness Idia-Wilson’s 11-month-old son was the first to receive the vaccine at a ceremony in Bayelsa.
She said she was doing it "for the safety of the child, for him to be protected".
"I will tell mothers, and I will invite people [to be vaccinated]," the mother added.
Bayelsa’s commissioner for health, Prof Seiyefa Brisibe, said the state would be carrying out health campaigns to promote the use of the vaccine in all the local languages.
In 2022, Nigeria accounted for 27% of global malaria cases and 31% of malaria deaths, according to the WHO, with children under five and pregnant women being the most vulnerable.
Africa overall saw 95% of those deaths, amounting to some 580,000 people.
"We are confident that this vaccine, in combination with other preventive measures, will drastically reduce the burden of malaria in Nigeria and help us move closer to achieving the goal of a malaria-free Africa," said Dr Walter Mulombo, WHO representative in Nigeria.
The government estimates that Nigeria loses $1.1bn (£870m) each year due to lost productivity and health expenditure linked to malaria.
R21/Matrix-M, developed by the Jenner Institute at Oxford University, uses three doses administered four weeks apart and a booster dose given after one year.
Earlier this year, Ivory Coast and the Democratic Republic of Congo also began using the vaccine.
Ghana, Kenya and Malawi have trialled another malaria vaccine – RTS,S.
Nigeria was not included in the subsequent roll-out of the jab by the WHO to 12 African countries.

Celebrate Earth Day with NASA Science Data – Teachable Moment – NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) (.gov)
Teachable Moment .
Earth Day, the day set aside each year to celebrate our planet and bring attention to the natural world, is celebrated each year on April 22. On Earth Day, people around the globe participate in events that draw attention to what we know about Earth, how it is changing, and how we can be kind to our home planet.
One of the ways that NASA participates – not just on Earth Day, but also year-round – is by collecting and analyzing science data from sensors on Earth and satellites. These data allow us to monitor the health of our planet and better understand how and why it is changing.
This year, to highlight the importance of these data, NASA is inviting people to “adopt” a portion of Earth’s surface and obtain a snapshot of some of the satellite data available for their adopted location. Even though you’ll have no legal or ownership rights to this region, it will be fun to learn about the various types of data available for different locations on Earth. Find out how you can participate.
NASA’s fleet of Earth-observing satellites and airborne sensors provides us with data about such vital information as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, global land and sea temperature, ice, sea surface salinity, and chlorophyll – just to name a few. The satellites and sensors collect these data over time and from as many perspectives as possible, allowing us to discern trends in the data.
Learn about the fleet of NASA satellites and instruments studying Earth.
A snapshot of data is just one piece of a much larger puzzle because it only gives us an indication of what was happening at the exact moment that data was captured. Even data collected over a year has its limitations because local conditions may ebb and flow over longer time periods. Collecting data about multiple elements of the Earth system over decades or centuries enables us to develop correlation and causation models, powerful indicators of why trends are developing as they are. And using multiple platforms (satellite, aerial, Earth-based) to measure data enables us to validate our data sets.
Humans are dependent on a healthy and functioning Earth to survive, which means we need to keep a close eye on all Earth systems and our impacts on those systems. This process of collecting data over time from multiple perspectives, discerning trends and validating the data is crucial to understanding our planet and helping policymakers formulate actions we can take to preserve Earth for future generations.
Learn why NASA studies Earth in this one-minute video.
First, introduce students to the kinds of data scientists use to study Earth. Participate in NASA’s Adopt the Planet campaign to receive a snapshot of Earth science data for one patch of Earth. Then encourage students to dig deeper with these standards-aligned lessons:

I'm a pediatric heart doctor. Medicaid cuts put half of Kentucky kids at risk. | Opinion – The Courier-Journal
As a pediatric cardiologist, my specialty is treating children’s hearts, but as a pediatrician, I also recognize that surrounding each heart is a child. My job is to take care of both.
Part of my job includes having hard conversations with expecting families about their child’s abnormal heart, often trying to describe the complex heart diagnosis with a poorly drawn sketch on a sheet of printer paper. Through teary eyes and tissues in a claustrophobic exam room, I watch as plans for baby showers and nursery décor are quickly replaced by talk of heart surgery and hospital stays.
When this diagnosis pulls the rug out from under these families, I hope to offer a soft landing place, a team of specialized pediatric providers to take care of these children as they undergo heart surgery — sometimes, in the first week of life.
The reality, too, is that as families worry about their child’s health, many are also often worried about the cost of care. This is a fear no family should face when it comes to getting the care their child needs.
Many of these children will need access to specialized providers throughout their life to help them grow and thrive. Luckily, Medicaid and Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) — here in Kentucky, called KCHIP — serve as the backbone for caring for children with special health care needs, and approximately half of children I care for with heart disease rely on these programs for specialized care.
Yet, right now these programs are at risk for sweeping cuts as Congress negotiates the budget. Any proposed funding cuts to Medicaid and CHIP would place these children at risk, and so many more in our state and across the country.
I wish that these conversations I had with families were a rarity. However, heart disease that children are born with is the most common birth defect, occurring in almost 1% of births. Approximately a quarter of children born with abnormal hearts will need heart surgery or other interventions to survive.
In Kentucky, Medicaid and KCHIP cover nearly half of children overall and more than half of children with special health care needs. These are the children whose hearts are represented by my drawings. I yearn for these children’s smiling pictures as they live and grow with battle wounds of surgical scars, but I know that these heart warriors need our help.
As someone who sees the importance of Medicaid and CHIP first-hand, I urge our Kentucky lawmakers to reject cuts to these vital programs. Because of these programs, my patients and so many more Kentucky children grow up healthy in our communities.
Medicaid and CHIP are lifelines for children and families in our state, including the children who belong to these special hearts. We must protect these programs so patients like mine can thrive. Congress must do what’s right and protect Medicaid and CHIP.

Aaron Gibson, 8th Operational Support Team mental health technician, teaches a toxic leadership professional development course to 8th Medical Group Airmen at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea, May 8, 2025. This course offered a different perspective from conventional leadership programs by emphasizing the pitfalls and behaviors to avoid as a leader.

KUNSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea — U.S. Air Force Master Sgt. Aaron Gibson, an approachable leader with a warm smile, served 11 years in the U.S. Air Force as an active-duty mental health technician. With proud Southern roots that encourage Gibson’s love for conversation and a personality that thrives off getting to know others, mental health became a calling that he truly embraced at Kunsan Air Base, Republic of Korea.
“I didn’t know anything about mental health coming in. I thought it was just some type of witchcraft,” Gibson joked. “But, I quickly saw through years of training and doing therapy how powerful it can be.”
After serving active-duty, Gibson transitioned to the U.S. Air Force Reserve in September 2024. Recently stationed with the 433rd Medical Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, Gibson returned from a six-month deployment to Saudi Arabia and had begun exploring new job opportunities when he received a unique offer.
“I had just got back from a deployment in October and my mental health functional called me,” remembered Gibson.
To his surprise, the Air Force mental health career field functional manager reached out, informing him that he had been personally recommended for a 170-day manning assist to Kunsan. Grateful for the recognition and eager to contribute, Gibson seized the opportunity to serve others in an active-duty capacity without hesitation.
“I was a little nervous, but that quickly turned into excitement because everybody I talked to who’s been out here has had nothing but great things to say. I had heard of the tight-knited [relationships] of this community and how they depend on each other so I was excited,” said Gibson. “It was kind of random, but the stars aligned and now I’m here at Kunsan.”
Highly motivated and ready to help, Gibson arrived at Kunsan in February 2025 where he joined the 8th Operational Support Team. The 8th OST focuses on improving the mental and physical well-being of Airmen by providing preventative care, reducing barriers to accessing mental health services, and addressing common stressors that can impact Airmen’s readiness. They often embed within units, particularly ones with high stress and physical demands.
“Before, the team didn’t have a mental health asset so they were mostly doing the physical therapy part of things, “ Gibson said. “Me coming in has allowed us to have that full scope of care.”
Christian Bridgman, 8th Operational Medical Readiness Squadron health promotion program coordinator and Gibson’s coworker, expressed that he was surprised to learn that the mental health assistant position at Kunsan would be filled and was excited to have a new asset added to the team.
“Once Master Sgt. Gibson arrived, he brought an exceptional level of approachability and skill that elevated our team’s ability to connect with Airmen on a deeper level,” said Bridgman.
As a mental health technician with the OST, Gibson plays a vital role in maintaining mission readiness by ensuring Kunsan Airmen have access to the mental health support they need. Different from regular mental health services, Gibson provides therapy without the requirement to document sessions.
“I don’t have to document anything which I love because it knocks down a barrier for people,” explained Gibson. “People that are maintainers or that have clearances don’t want things going on their record so that removes something that could give them hesitation from talking to me.”
In conjunction with therapy, Gibson enthusiastically mentioned that he also gets a bang for his buck with educating Airmen.
“I kind of think of myself as a life coach,” said Gibson. “Any of the classes we do, like sleep hygiene, stress management, burnout prevention, I definitely see people having better habits surrounding those things and that typically spills into other areas too.”
With a variety of classes now being offered, Gibson’s expertise and approachable personality has played a pivotal role in the success of unit embedments within the 8th Fighter Wing.
“Master Sgt. Gibson plays a crucial role in enhancing unit readiness through early intervention, mental health education, and building trust within the community,” said Bridgman. “He has helped foster a culture in which seeking mental health care is not only accepted but encouraged.”
Bridgman explained that having a mental health asset, like Gibson, embedded with OST’s can increase mission readiness and sustainment up to 34% in units. And, Gibson’s presence not only reduces the stigma behind mental health but also promotes proactive engagement with Airmen.
“I’ve really tried to get people to take a moment to take care of themselves,” emphasized Gibson. “I feel like, especially in these embedded roles with maintainers and security forces, that these units are really [getting after the mission] so they don’t really have time to care about their mental health. So that’s what I do, I care about it for them and bring it to the forefront.”
Bridgman has witnessed the natural way Gibson engages with Airmen within units and breaks down barriers for seeking help.
“Master Sgt. Gibson’s presence has been transformative,” stated Bridgman. “His diverse hobbies and interests make him relatable to a wide range of people. His warmth and genuine nature allow him to build trust and rapport, even with the most guarded individuals.”
Motivated to create a lasting change, Gibson has pushed the 8th OST to get involved with the master Resiliency Trainers at Kunsan. Capitalizing on this relationship, Gibson envisions using the MRT resiliency training in conjunction with OST training to combat stress in the Wolfpack.
Gibson has also kickstarted a new emotional intelligence course within the 8th FW. His intent being to bolster emotional intelligence and educate on how handling emotions can impact work environments.
“If your leadership is good, then hey life is great! But if your leadership is bad, then you know it’s like ‘I ain’t reenlisting’. That’s how it is. So that’s something we are working on,” explained Gibson. “There’s not really a topic under my umbrella that I can’t help with. It’s such a spectrum but that doesn’t matter because it’s a holistic approach. If I can help you with one thing then it’s going to help you in other areas.”
Since joining the 8th OST, Gibson and his team have been actively supporting not only the units they are embedded with, but also reaching out to additional units and teams to explore opportunities for assistance. By introducing themselves and sharing information about available educational trainings, they empower units to seek out proactive, preventative support for their Airmen. Gibson believes this initiative will continue after his departure.
“Even though we are embedded with maintenance right now, we’ll go over to security forces when they’re arming up and introduce ourselves and give them a few quick sleep tips. Or we’ll go over to the ambulance bay with our EMT’s and just broaden our reach,” mentioned Gibson. “We want to help as many people as we can and we don’t need to be embedded to do that. You just tell me a day and we can come back and give a class on whatever you want. That’s something that we should keep doing for sure.”
Gibson acknowledged that the OST has faced challenges in filling mental health technician positions, as these professionals are in high demand across various locations. He expressed hope that his current manning assist at Kunsan will encourage similar opportunities for other seven-level technicians in the future, helping to address this critical staffing need.
“If the Air Force could take those technicians and put them in those roles I think everybody would be better for it,” said Gibson. “If that could be the result of this, I’d be over the moon.”
Gibson emphasized the significant value that volunteer opportunities hold for reservists, as these experiences can contribute to both professional growth and personal development. These opportunities not only enhance critical skills and broaden perspectives, but also foster meaningful relationships that can last a lifetime. In particular, he mentioned how volunteering can create a lasting bond with the Wolf Pack, offering a sense of belonging and connection that extends beyond the duration of the assignment.
“I just got back from deployment so I feel like these types of experiences are going to serve me so well the next time I go. It’s just invaluable. On the human side of things, i’ve already met so many people who are not going anywhere,” said Gibson. “They are in my life forever now and we are really good friends. I feel like those experiences along with the ability to bolster your toolkit from a readiness perspective is invaluable. It’s just making me be the best version of myself which is what I want for my patients too.”
Through embedded support, engaging education and a deep commitment to connection, Gibson and his team have fostered a culture where mental health is not just encouraged, but actively supported. Ultimately, the 8th OST plays a vital role in keeping the Wolf Pack “Fit to Fight Tonight,” ensuring that Airmen are mentally resilient, mission-ready and never alone in the challenges they face.

Nigeria air strikes: Kaduna's Tudunbiri village mourns deaths a year on – BBC
An Islamic school teacher, Masud Abdulrasheed, is struggling to come to terms with the killing of his seven-year-old daughter in drone strikes by Nigeria's military during a religious festival in their large but sparsely populated village exactly a year ago.
The military said the bombing was caused by "a failure of intelligence", leading the army to mistake the open-air festival in Tudunbiri for a gathering of jihadist fighters.
"The incident of December 3rd, 2023 was a great tragedy that shouldn’t have happened," military spokesman Maj-Gen Edward Buba told the BBC. "The armed forces regret that incident. And if we could bring the lives lost back, we would."
Warning: This story contains graphic details which some readers may find distressing
About 85 people were killed, including Mr Abdulrasheed's little daughter Habeebah, when unmanned drones dropped two bombs on the village in northern Kaduna state.
"The first bomb dropped on us at around 10 pm, close to a tree where women and children were seated," Mr Abdulrasheed recalled. "We ran for safety, but moments later we gathered to help those injured and also called for help, but the second bomb was dropped and it killed more people."
Mr Abdulrasheed described Habeebah as "the most caring among my children".
"She would always give me whatever gift she was given, even if I didn’t need it," he told the BBC.
The 36-year-old was one of the organisers of the annual festival, known as Maulud, held to celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad.
Many of his students were killed in the tragedy.
"We saw dead bodies all over the place as if they were sleeping. Body parts were strewn around the tree branches and rooftops. We had to pack them inside sacks and buried all the dead in a mass grave.
"There is nothing more devastating than seeing people you invited for a celebration coming to meet their end. I am so heartbroken," Mr Abdulrasheed said.
As the father of four spoke to the BBC, he sat his second daughter, Zaharau, beside him on a mat outside their home. He gently pulled up her top to show a wound on her stomach.
Four-year-old Zaharau was hit by shrapnel. It took at least an hour to drive her and the other wounded to the nearest hospital in Kaduna city.
Although she underwent surgery, her wound still hasn't fully healed.
"When my daughter and the others that got injured were at the hospital, they were well taken care of. We thank the government for that.
"But things changed after they got discharged, months later. The hospital has refused to continue with their [free] treatment. They keep giving us excuses."
Walking around Tudunbiri, there is hardly a family not affected by the tragedy of that fateful night.
Twenty-year-old Aisha Buhari lost three of her younger brothers. She survived, suffering an injury to her left arm that is yet to heal.
Sitting on a stool, she cried and wiped her tears with her hijab as she recalled the last moments of her brothers.
"That night, I just finished talking with them and stepped away for a moment when the first bomb hit, only for me to see their dead bodies on the ground moments later," Ms Buhari said.
"When they rushed me to the hospital, I could not think of anything but my brothers. I cried so much."
As Ms Buhari spoke, she paused to wipe the pus oozing from her wound.
"There was no house or farm task I could not do before the incident, but now I can’t do anything properly. I depend on people to help with something as basic as washing clothes," she said.
Kaduna state governor Uba Sani told the BBC that he would look into the plight of villagers like Ms Buhari.
"Thank you BBC for this information. I will personally go back to Tudunbiri, and if I find people that still need treatment, I will take care of it," he promised.
"The instruction I gave was that all the injured should be treated and none of them should be discharged until they are fully recovered," he added.
Undeterred by last year’s tragedy, the Muslim faithful in Tudunbiri celebrated the festival again this year, but held it two months earlier.
The occasion also marked the inauguration of a mosque the authorities have built for them over the bomb site, as a form of compensation.
Mr Abdulrasheed acts as the mosque's imam as the previous one was killed in the air strikes.
"We are happy about the new mosque, but we can never forget what happened," Mr Abdulrasheed told the BBC. "Any time I come here, I always remember that day, and I feel depressed. As we celebrate this year’s Maulud, we also mourn those that we lost."
For years, Nigeria's military has been battling armed jihadists and criminals, who raid villages and kidnap people for ransom in parts of the north.
This has led to an upsurge in air strikes aimed at targeting them.
The Nigerian Air Force has obtained "a multitude" of new aircraft, the editor of Defence Web, Guy Martin, told the BBC.
This included Chinese-built unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones.
"Chinese UAVs are cheaper, making them more accessible. Nearly a third of African countries have acquired UAVs, mainly from Turkey and China," Mr Martin said, pointing out that it was strikes from UAVs that caused the disaster in Tudunbiri.
"Intelligence failure, poor coordination, and inadequate operator training are some of the reasons for erroneous strikes. The rapid deployment of UAV technology often outpaces the development of proper training and engagement protocols for military personnel," Mr Martin added.
Maj-Gen Buba told the BBC that the military had found itself operating in a "challenging and complex" operational environment.
"But we have grown in our equipment holding and in our deployments of more experienced commanders and troops," he said.
According to consulting firm SBM Intelligence, the Nigerian Air Force carried out 17 accidental air strikes between January 2017 and September 2024, killing more than 500 people.
"One mistake is enough; when we see hundreds being killed in erroneous attacks, we should be concerned," Human Rights Watch (HRW) Nigeria researcher Anietie Ewang said.
In response, Maj-Gen Buba said that rights campaigners should "give us more credit for being more transparent, for working with the people, and for being more accountable for our actions, as was revealed particularly during the Tudunbiri incident".
"We will do everything possible to ensure that this never happens [again]," Maj-Gen Buba added.
He said that two army personnel were being court-martialled over the incident and while the case was still in progress, the military had redeployed them and relieved them of their command.
Both the federal and state government have also unveiled development projects for the village as part of efforts to show remorse for the deaths, with Sani telling the BBC that the construction of a hospital and skills acquisition centre was almost complete.
"We have been supporting the people of Tudunbiri, and we will continue to do that," he said.
"They are my people," the governor added.
But in a cruel irony, more than 20 people in the village reported that their farmland had been confiscated for the projects.
They include 50-year-old Hashim Abdullahi, who told the BBC: "I am not happy because this hospital has taken my means of livelihood and I was not compensated. I have been rendered jobless and can’t provide for my family."
In response, Sani said: "For the people that genuinely have land, the department of land in Kaduna is working with the head of the community to ensure that the right people are given their land back."
Nigeria's Vice-President Kashim Shettima also visited the village following the killings, promising – in conjunction with the state government – justice and financial compensation.
People were told they would receive 2.5 million naira ($1,500; £1,180) for each person killed in their family, while those injured were offered about 750,000 naira ($500).
"It is a difference that authorities actually carried out compensation this time around, but there is a sense that it has been very arbitrary," Ms Ewang said.
"We need to see the authorities take much-needed action towards justice, accountability, and compensation for victims in all of the other incidents of air strikes where they have accepted it was an error," she added.
Ms Buhari told the BBC that her family had received the 7.5 million naira for her three brothers who were killed, and she got 750,000 naira for her injuries – though this was not enough.
"I usually buy drugs at a pharmacy to dress the wound because that’s all I can afford to do now. The hospital doesn’t attend to us any more. Sometimes the pain would be very severe for weeks," she said.
"We hope the government will come to our aid again so that I can get proper care for my arm. I can’t wait to use it again," Ms Buhari added.
Mr Abdulrasheed told the BBC he had not received financial compensation for the injuries suffered by his four-year-old.
"I always feel worried when I look at her condition," he said.
He said he had received the full financial compensation for the death of his seven-year-old, but no amount of money could replace her.
"Every time I visit the grave site, I remember those we used to live together with but now they are no more. I miss them all. I miss my daughter."
