In this paper, we examined the level of technology,ud(quite low in developing countries, especially Nigeria) and howudimproved technological know-how can help in achieving foodudsecurity. The indicators of food security utilized include:udprevalence of food inadequacy, value of food production, amongudothers. Regression analysis was engaged in investigating theudimportant role of technology on food security using ARDL (AutoudRegressive Distributed Lag). The results, among others, showedudthat in Nigeria, there is a long-term relationship between theudindicators of food security and technology. In the event ofuddistortion, the speed of adjustment from the short-run is ratherudlow but significant. Some policy options to enhance the level ofudfood security are documented in the study.
