Achieving Sustainable Food Systems in a Global Crisis: Nigeria

The document outlines a strategy for transforming Nigeria's food systems amidst rising hunger and poverty. It utilizes a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to estimate the costs of ending hunger, doubling small-scale producer incomes, and transitioning to healthier diets while integrating climate mitigation and adaptation. The report highlights that population growth, from 206 million in 2020 to a projected 263 million by 2030, will increase food demand and environmental pressure, necessitating significant external aid and global solidarity to achieve sustainable goals.

• Nigeria's food systems are currently strained by internal conflict, economic slowdown, COVID-19, and rising food and fertilizer prices exacerbated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine, leading to increased hunger and poverty.
• Hunger and poverty are expected to increase through 2030, with many people remaining malnourished because healthy diets are unaffordable.
• Rapid population growth is projected to increase the population from 206 million in 2020 to 263 million by 2030, which will heighten food demand and environmental challenges.
• The report employs a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to determine the financial requirements for ending hunger, doubling small-scale producer incomes, and transitioning to healthier diets while investing in climate adaptation and protection.
