Abstract: Food Security has been an issue of global concern in the recent time. The present Federal Government of Nigeria places much emphasis on agricultural development. However, no meaningful Agricultural development can be achieved without a search for proactive strategies for food security. This paper looks at geospatial technology as strategy that will greatly meet the problems of food security in this country. The paper defines food security; it reviews the food security situation in Nigeria with the problems of food security. Consequent upon these problems, the paper discusses the application and benefits of this technology as tool for food security in Nigeria. The paper concludes that if the current democratic process will indeed yield dividends to the citizenry, the agricultural sector must be technologically revitalized and see as the most relevant of all.
Keywords: Food Security, Geospatial Technology, Remote Sensing, Geographic Information System (GIS).
