ABSTRACT
This paper examines the role of School Farm Programmes in achieving sustainable food security in Nigeria. Drawing from literature and best practices, it highlights the importance of integrating practical agricultural education into school curricula to equip students with relevant farming skills, increase local food supply, and promote sustainable agricultural practices. The study discusses the concept of the School Farm Programme, its benefits, challenges, and strategies for effective implementation. Findings suggest that the programme has significant potential to enhance food security, reduce youth unemployment, and encourage environmentally friendly farming practices when supported with adequate funding, technical expertise, and policy interventions.
