Assesment of Project Management Methodology on Sustainable Food Security in Nigeria

The study investigates the assessment of project management methodology on sustainable food security in Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted, with the aids of structured questionnaire to gather insights from 104 farmers within south western Nigeria. Convenient and purposive sampling techniques were used to ensure those farmers selected have the knowledge of the items in questionnaire. Content validity was used to validate the instrument, while Cronbach alpha was used to determine the reliability of the instrument which was achieved at α = (0.84). The data collected were analyzed using frequency distribution tables and linear regression analysis was used to test hypothesis and explore relationships between project management methodology and sustainable food security.. The findings of this study revealed that adaptive project frame work enhance nutritional food. (R = 0.635a; p<0.05), (R2 = 0.403). The findings of this study further shows that benefit realization management contributes significantly to food affordability. (R = 0.523a; p<0.05), (R2 = 0.274).. Therefore, this study provides offer valuable guidance to industry stakeholders aiming to address the complexities of the food security sector within developing economies, enhancing both project sustainability and sectoral growth
