| description | Abstract The article discusses the intricate relationships between land cover and land use change on the one hand and climate on the other. It explores the current state of the climate change debate and submits that evidence abounds that human-induced climate change is indeed happening. It further explains the concepts of land cover and land use and the similarities, differences and relationships between them. The article then goes on to explore the subject of land use and land cover changes and modifications and how these processes can occur as a consequence of climate change and can also be the drivers of climate change. It then discusses how land cover, land use and climate interact to impact food security using secondary data from Nigeria and also outlines other impacts of climate change and their consequences on food security. |
