Sustainable Agriculture: Route to Food Security
Brief
Nigeria was ranked 84 out of 119 countries in the 2017 Global Hunger Index. Painfully, in the 2021 Global Hunger Index, Nigeria ranked 103 out of the 116 indicating a threat to the economy (GHI, 2021). However, despite government efforts, the World Bank has projected that at the end of 2022, the number of persons below the poverty level will be about 95 million.
Therefore, in order to avert this looming crisis, awareness needs to be created via multiple channels such as this symposium.
