Food security and safety depend on soil quality as plants and animals rely on soils for sustenance. With increasing human population, industrialization and climate change, food insecurity remains a serious issue in African societies. Crop production, yield, and nutritional value in Nigeria have declined significantly due to poor soil quality which contributes >40% to the current food crisis. The productivity of Nigerian soils has reduced as a result of inadequate fertilizer application and soil nutrient mining. This has affected food security, quality, and safety. |
