Abstract
The interconnectedness of climate change and food production is profound. The direct effect of climate change on food production can come in diverse ways, including changes in average rainfall, temperatures, extreme climate, and changes in terms of pest and disease manifestation. Thus, understanding the Impact of climate on food production in Nigeria necessitated this research. The methodology adopted a systematic literature review to locate and broadly synthesize research on climate change, the food security situation in Nigeria, the significant Influence of climate change on food production, and the threats posed by climate variations on quality food production in Nigeria. Two inclusion criteria were created to screen for relevant studies from the literature: (1) journal articles published between 2000 and 2021 and (2) keywords that are related to the issue under consideration. This approach uncovered 47 articles published between 2000-2022 and 4 online expert opinion articles appropriately referenced.
