Benue, plateau, Kaduna, Niger Zamfara, Katsina, Sokoto, Kebbi are under occupation by non state actors and you want people back to farm? The only people going back to farm are Igbos, thank God for ESN. We are still packing huge money from tomato harvest
Good observation, although this part of the article caught my attention:

“We will engage our security architecture to protect the farms and the farmers so that farmers can return to the farmlands without fear of attacks.”

PLEASE CHANGE THE CURRENT SECURITY ARCHITECTURE TO ENSURE FARMERS WORKING ON THEIR ANCESTRAL LANDS ARE PROTECTED FROM TERRORISTS!

Thank you.

What's the capacity of our food reserve?

If you know the paltry amount of grain in our food reserve, then you will laugh at this declaration.
They are going to expand it. It’s in the report.

Most Nigerians are pessimists. No matter the policy created by government, their first response is to say 1000 reasons why it won’t be possible.

Back to farming. We can produce our local foods in abundance and still export.

I am still wondering why we are still importing ordinary fish and turkey when we can start the production here
Who are the "we" you referring to?

Why are you "wailing" (permit me to borrow your word)? Was buhari not supposed to handle these things u are complaining about?

Is Nigeria not presently producing enough local food in abundance?

"They are going to expand it"....do you see into the future? Is it because something is in the report that it will be done?

Is it the pessimism of Nigerians that is responsible for government policies not working?

Do you want nigerians to be as optimistic as Tinubu regarding buhari in the screenshot below?

How will the security architecture be changed to ensure farmers are protected from terrorists?

What is the present security architecture?

Re: President Tinubu Declares State Of Emergency On Food Security by grandstar(m): 9:20pm On Jul 13, 2023
Due to my free market leanings, I don't feel too good about this.

"Food security" usually entails the country achieves "self sufficiency" in food it has no comparative advantage in like rice. This will mean the citizenry pay more for rice than it otherwise should. Since the primary cause of hunger isn't a lack of food but a lack of money, higher food prices does not help the poor.

Rather government should focus on food the nation has comparative advantage in and liberalizes imports of the others.

If the attention given to rice over the past 10 years was applied to foods the nation has comparative advantage in, I won't be surprised if earnings from food exports touch $10bn. Shea butter alone can earn the country $2bn. Cashew over $1bn and the list goes on.
