The agency\u2019s innovative strengthening of smallholder farmers\u2019 capabilities towards productive land restoration amid Covid-19 was initiated to mitigate the negative impact of the pandemic,\u201d Akubundu said.<\/p>\n<p>Recall that the World Poverty Clock, an online tool that provides real-time poverty data across countries, recently revealed that over 70 million Nigerians live in extreme poverty.<\/p>\n<p>The Minister observed that the changing climate had impacted negatively on agricultural production and was likely to challenge food security in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Abubakar said, \u201cFood may become more expensive as climate change mitigation efforts increase energy prices. Water required for food production may become more scarce due to increased crop water use and drought.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCompetition for land may increase as certain areas become climatically unsuitable for production. In addition, extreme weather events, associated with climate change may cause sudden reductions in agricultural productivity, leading to rapid price increases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese rising prices may force growing numbers of local people into poverty, providing a sobering demonstration of how the influence of climate change can result in food insecurity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He, however, maintained that<a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/07\/19\/homeless-nigerian-woman-repeatedly-caught-breaking-into-rich-homes-in-u-s-to-sleep\/\"> Nigeria<\/a> was moving away from over-dependence on oil and diversifying into agriculture for sustenance, income generation and foreign exchange earnings.<\/p>\n<p>Abubakar observed that the Juncao Technology had the potential to boost government\u2019s efforts in making the best use of huge agricultural resources towards sustainable livelihood as enshrined in the SDGs charter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHolistic efforts are being made in recent times to address these multi-faceted challenges and unlock the potentials of the Nation\u2019s livestock resources for increased employment opportunity, improved livelihoods and income, and we earnestly look forward to potential leverages the Juncao technology will provide to boost these efforts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federal Government has cautioned that the current increase in the price of food items might plunge more citizens into poverty except appropriate measures would be taken.
