Abstract
The research looked at the relationship between climate change and agricultural production in
Nigeria from 1980 to 2023. The research used the Malthusian population hypothesis, which
posits that reducing agricultural output will have negative consequences on food production,
leading to increased hunger and starvation. Climate change is one example of this. A quasi
experimental research design was used in the study. It was determined whether the variables
were stationary or not. Researchers used the ARDL method to look for a long-term and short
term correlation between agricultural sector output and temperature increase as a proxy for
global warming. The findings demonstrate that rising sea levels induced by global warming are
to blame for the stunted development of agricultural output. The unpredictability of exchange
rates is worrisome. The research found that timing, adaptation, and the larger economic climate
determine whether or not agricultural productivity in Nigeria is negatively impacted by global
warming. So, the study's takeaways include that agriculture needs better infrastructure, better
planning, and stronger climate adaption measures.
