摘要：Agriculture has remained an important aspect of any economy. Viable agricultural programmes and activities in any polity are capable of sustaining the food supply and reserves needed for the welfare of the citizens. But in Nigeria, Agriculture is despised as able bodied young people do not have interes t in Agriculture. Climate change and clashes between herdsmen and farmer s and the activities of Boko Haram se c t have added to food insecurity challenges in the polity as population displacement, death, and non - cultivation of farmland s and the burning down of farm produc e have reduced the quality and qua n tity of food demand. Although the Federal Government had assured Nigerians that the fear over imminent food crisis in 2013 was unfounded, many Nigerians, e specially concerned stakeholders, are not persuaded that the means and ways being devised by government at all levels can possibly address the challenge. This paper addresses the causes and conse que nces of these challenges and concludes by positing that without addressing these challenges, food insecurity w ill persist in Nigeria for a long time .
