Reducing the contribution to the greenhouse gases through modification of lifestyles has been the recent focus of geoengineering and climate change discussion. However, many developing countries still have to face the challenge of ensuring food security, and increasing energy availability. This study is an expository review of the impact of food production and peoples’ attitudes to food in the face of climate change. The main objective of the study was to examine the sources and dimensions of food carbon footprints, with a focus on Nigeria, and with the view of making recommendations for reduction of greenhouse gasses from food sources. The study argued the need for infrastructural and welfare improvement, and rural development to channel the focus of the people towards environmental preservation and sustenance.
