Prof. Anosike was speaking at a Chief Executive Officers breakfast session on Tuesday, 16th October 2024 at Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, themed ‘Elevating the Role of Data and Information in the National Food Security Conversation’, organized by the Federal Ministry of Finance, Budget and National Planning, and the Nigeria Economic Summit Group (NESG).
He said that the food system is increasingly threatened by climate change and the effects on food security are significantly acute in developing countries. Prof. Anosike observed that with heavy reliance on rain-fed agriculture, it is essential to empower farmers with weather and climate information to enable them to mitigate and adapt to the vagaries and complexities of climate change with confidence and make them resilient by making informed decisions.
