Synopsis (short abstract) The conflict in northeastern Nigeria has devastated agricultural livelihoods in various ways, including livestock losses, reduced access to farmland and fishing grounds, and destruction of irrigation and farming facilities. Allowing families to produce their own food, while improving nutrition and income generation is critical to safeguard livelihoods. As most farmers in northeastern Nigeria depend on either agricultural or livestock production, or a combination of both, restoring their access to productive inputs, and crop and livestock value chains are key in 2018 to support their livelihoods and increase food security.

    Ten years into the conflict, the humanitarian crisis in Nigeria’s Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States remains one of the most severe in the world with the third highest level of internal displacement in Africa. Predominantly a protection crisis, the situation is characterized by increased food insecurity, forced displacement, chronic poverty and epidemic diseases. With agriculture being the main source of food and income in the North-East, diversifying agricultural livelihood opportunities for vulnerable households, with an emphasis on women and youth, is central to prevent a further increase in food insecurity.

    The insurgency in northeastern Nigeria remains a significant driver of the humanitarian crisis. Severe flooding across the country in 2022 devastated crops and livestock. Price spikes are further hindering vulnerable households’ access to food. By mid-year, 4.35 million people are projected to be acutely food insecure during the lean season in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states. Around 80 percent of northeastern Nigerians live in rural areas and depend on agriculture to provide for their families. Restoring their livelihoods is crucial to the humanitarian response.

    In 2023, the levels of acute food insecurity in northeastern Nigeria were comparable to those reported during the peak of the crisis in 2016/17. Ongoing conflict, flooding and high food prices are impacting vulnerable households’ agricultural livelihoods, hampering food production. During this year’s lean season (June–August 2024), 1 in 4 people in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states are likely to be acutely food insecure. Emergency agricultural interventions must scale up urgently to increase food availability, access and incomes in the worst affected rural areas.
