Why is it important?
Thus, it is important to assess the damaged cause by clashes within the community on food security and also to examine the way the communities have been coping with this unfortunate economy disaster. The knowledge of what is prevalent in this study area will help the administrators at state and federal levels to determine the method to be used in establishing lasting peace in the developing state economy. The issue of food security is a complex issue with attendance challenges. Many authors have focused on the constraints to food security but have neglected other environmental exogenous factors to food security. Food security and poverty reduction are major goals of sustainable development, which cannot be achievable under chaotic and turbulent environment since farmers can only produce food under stable and peaceful environment
