Abstract
The document does not contain a dedicated abstract section. However, the summary of findings in Chapter 5 serves a similar purpose, highlighting that Ogoja LGA has experienced rapid population growth primarily driven by high birth rates and migration, putting significant pressure on the local agricultural system and exacerbating food insecurity. Socio-economic factors like unemployment among youth, infrastructure deficits (inadequate roads, storage facilities, irrigation), and challenges such as land degradation, water scarcity, climate change, and lack of modern farming techniques contribute to reduced food production and availability.
