This study examined the effect of insurgency on food production in selected states in Nigeria
using insurgency, population displacement, farm inputs, farmland loss, and government
intervention as explanatory variables. An ex post facto research design was adopted, and data
were analyzed using the Binary Logistic Regression technique. The findings revealed that
insurgency had a statistically significant effect on food production, while population
displacement, farm inputs, farmland loss, and government intervention did not have significant
effects. The overall model was statistically significant and provided a good fit to the data. The
study concluded that insurgency is a key determinant of food production in the study area. It
therefore recommends strengthening security in agricultural communities, improving the
effectiveness of government intervention programmes, enhancing access to farm inputs, and
supporting displaced farmers to promote sustainable food production and food security.
