It was clear from discussions that food waste and loss is high in the community due to lack of storage facilities e.g. Silos, cribs etc and leading to food insecurity, hunger and loss of income for farmers. Adoption of climate smart agricultural practices is low and the region faces climate change effects such as drought, pest and diseases, and soil erosion. It is therefore important to note that the aftermath effect of COVID-19 still pose a great threat to food security. With COVID-19, the challenges hampering the attainment of food security in Nigeria could deepen. The impact is already being felt in the form of rising food prices, food inflation had risen.
