Ruling on existing protocol, one of the major problem in Africa is Food security system. 

Household food security exists when all members, at all times, have more than enough food for required  active and healthy lifestyle, presently in Nigeria we live in hunger or fear of starvation, many farmers produces more than enough Food products, but he lacks potentials and knowledges of how to retain the food products till off season for such food crop,this is a situation where by the perishable foods  get spoil easily and there is need to look for a beautiful ways to preserve such food products and also be very sure that they still retains all the nutritional content without loosing anyone. According to the United States Department of Agriculture. Food security incorporates a measure of resilience to future disruption or unavailability of critical food supply due to various risk factors including droughts, shipping disruptions, fuel shortages, economic instability, and wars to mention but a few of the risk factors. 

Now, I wonder why our government cannot or let me say that,they cannot imitate the lifestyles in Europe,  by getting cold rooms with regulations to store different kinds of vegetables and fruits, in such a way that the refrigeration system can be attached to their trucks and wheels to the farm during harvesting, this will go a long way to preserve and at the same time retain the nutritional content of such crops.  Even our dear market men and women can combine to buy the bigger cold room that will be suitable for the food crop they deal with, that we would at all times get fresh products from farms. Especially for corn e.t.c.

Our government should look into this aspect very well, when we are talking about food security and the nutritional value of food in our national Nigeria.
