• GOVERNMENT STRATEGIES FOR GREENHOUSE INITIATIVE AND THE CHALLENGES OF AVAILABILITY, ACCESSIBILITY, AFFORDABILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY OF FOOD IN PLATEAU STATE (2026) · International Journal of African Innovation and Multidisciplinary Research · doi

  Having considered the findings from the study, the following measures are recommended: i. Increase synergies and collaborations leveraging on new technology among greenhouse farmers, policy makers and research institutes and making appropriate policies and decisions at local, subnational and national levels about short and long- term strategies to improve greenhouse initiative and combat the impact of climate change on food security. ii. There is the need for increase in funding and provision of security by both the Federal, State and Local Government leveraging on mechanized faming and provision of adequate farming inputs to drive increase agricultural productivity. This will help to address extent to which the factors hindering greenhouse initiative affect the availability, accessibility, affordability and sustainability of food in Plateau State. iii. Need for awareness creation on the health impact of vegetables grown using greenhouse technology. 155 EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Prof. A.I.
