摘要本文研究了尼日利亚气候变化、干旱状况和粮食生产之间的相互作用链。该文件主要依靠通过分析政府和非政府机构提供的相关数据而产生的二手数据。从这些来源中，根据当前的重要性收集了定量和定性信息。除其他事项外，本文讨论了尼日利亚的萨凡纳地区的干旱状况的估计，在该地区的粮食生产活动的性质和持续的气候变化在多大程度上影响了粮食生产状况。本文件还审查了处理尼日利亚有保证的粮食安全状况的当地和正式体制框架，从调查结果中得出结论，荒漠化对该地区的粮食生产活动产生了不利影响，因此政府必须通过国际发展机构的援助进行干预，以解决这一问题。
Abstract This paper investigates the chain of interactions between climatic change, drought condition and food production in Nigeria. The paper relied mainly on secondary data that were generated through the analysis of relevant data from government and non-governmental agencies. From these sources, both quantitative and qualitative information were collected depending on the immediate importance. Among other things, this paper addresses the estimate of drought condition in the savannah region of Nigeria, the nature of food production activities in the area and the extent to which continuous climatic change has affected the state of food production. The paper also examines the indigenous and formal institutional frameworks in addressing the situation for assured food security in Nigeria.The paper concludes from the findings that desertification has impacted negatively on the food production activities in the region, which has necessitated the intervention of the government through the assistance from the international development agencies to combat the problem.
