Abstract

One of the critical challenges facing the Nigerian polity today is the need to adequately feed her citizenry. Within the indigenous economies of pre-colonial ethnic groupings, most dwellers produced enough food to cater for the society and exchange. The colonial economy disarticulated the food production equilibrium to the extent that in recent times, rapid urbanization and environmental degradation occasion by the exploratory activities of multinational corporated have impacted negatively on food production activities hence the call for a state of emergency in this sector.
