The Implications of Spatial Variations in Geographic Location, Geology and Pedology on Food Security in the Southeast Nigeria

The explanation of the associations and variations in geographic location, pedology geologic formations for effective policy framework towards sustainability food production Southeast Nigeria is central objective this study. study area was stratified into five states. Data on textural classes were systematically collected from three states at eight sampled points using commerce, wetland non-wet land agricultural areas as indices analyzed laboratory geo-spatial tools. results indicated that pedologic characteristics vary with spaces but particle size dominated by sandy loam. multivariate analysis variance, tests variations, homogeneity, overlapping variances revealed among space have significant effect distribution Southeast. Also, spatial variabilities geology, southeast suggest dynamics capability class crop yields which constitute major issue to development corresponding security. dominance loam soil an indicator prevalence A B (soils) while qualitative interview affirmed most farmers still relied natural fertility production, quality quantity their produced often hampered traditional/small holdings. To sustain security teeming population, recommended massive evaluation physicochemical bio-geochemical properties provide basis farmers’ choice crops; creation more awareness education type crops can yield better under certain pedo-geographic formations.
