| dc.description.abstract | There has been persistent rise in prices of food items in Nigeria in the recent times contributing to compound food insecurity in the country. This study has examined the effect of public expenditure on agricultural production and sustainable food security in Nigeria. Ordinary least squares multiple regression technique using time series data was used to carry out the analysis. It was found that both government total expenditure and agricultural expenditure have significant positive effect on food security in Nigeria. It is therefore recommended that Nigerian government should continue to increase its total expenditure as well as agricultural expenditure so that more food items would be produced for domestic consumption to guarantee food security in the country. | en_US |
