Abstract

The agricultural sector played a role towards the nation’s economic and social development globally considering the fact that the sector serves as the reliable avenue through which food security is attained. This research examines the deradicalization of agriculture towards shifting hunger in Nigeria. The study adopts a descriptive research survey design with an infinite population who are those directly or indirectly involved in agricultural practices in Kogi State but a out of a sample of 384 determined using the Godden sample size statistical formular only 298 completed and returned the questionnaire giving a retrieval rate of 78%. The study elicited data using a twenty-four (24) items structured questionnaire designed in a five points Likert scale. The two (2) formulated hypotheses were tested using simple linear regression. The findings revealed that there is significant positive relationship between food supply and agricultural productivity (r =.769, p-value <0.05) and that there is a significant positive relationship between cost of food and economic factors (r =.866, p-value <0.05. Premised on the findings, this research therefore concluded that there is a significant positive relationship between food supply and agricultural productivity and there is a significant positive relationship between cost of food and economic factors. Finally, the study recommends that there should be development of climate resilient farming practices through the drought tolerant crops as well as the integration of a sustainable irrigation practice. There should also be an improvement in provision of basic infrastructure so that such could facilitate agricultural activities in the area.
