Abstract
In some parts of Nigeria, and the Continent of Asia, and other parts of Africa, the right to food and food is under serious threat. The aim of this article is to appraise the justiciability of the right to food (food security) and to also advance adequate legal proposals for a complete elimination of hunger in Nigeria. The comparative approach herein suggests that Nigeria can draw useful lessons from other jurisdictions in the quest for filling the gaps in the Nigerian legislation with regards to food security. Thus, the article concludes that Nigeria needs to review her laws by making the right to food to be among the enforceable human rights. If this is implemented, then Nigeria would have succeeded in significantly curtailing hunger among her citizens. The writers also explore the impact and effort of the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), which is an agency of the United Nations in promoting food security and how it is maintaining a zero hunger ratio in Nigeria.
