Leveraging Food Security Challenges in South Eastern Nigeria Using GIS and Geospatial Education

SUMMARY Achieving food security can be a herculean task as it is dependent on agriculture, trade, health and the environment as a whole. A number of climatic changes occur in our environment which have adverse effects on agricultural production both directly and indirectly as a whole thus leading to some worth of “food insecurity”. It is very essential that citizens of every nation are catered for judiciously with respect to its growth and all developmental processes. The South Eastern Nigeria is generally densely populated and in order to measure the state of deprivation which may arise, proximity analysis will be undertaken with respect to the population, food availability, accessibility and utilization. This study tries to define the concept of food security, the reviews of food security situation in South Eastern Nigeria and also hopes to highlight the importance of Geographical Information System (GIS) approach to food security scenarios and its associated benefits with respect to South Eastern geo-political zone and Nigeria generally. Consequently conclusion is drawn by highlighting the adoption of precision Agriculture (precision farming) to improve food production in South Eastern Nigeria.
