Journal Title: IOSR Journals (IOSR Journal of Computer Engineering) - Year 2013, Vol 14, Issue 5
Abstract
Nigeria, a country of more than 160 million people; also, the biggest oil exporter in Africa [1] Nigeria with her oil wealth, food security, and unemployment remains a serious problem. Shortage and increase in food prices has raised serious concerns regarding food and nutrition security across the country. Logical action is required to support vulnerable citizens (about 90%) cope with increases in food prices; assist farmers to quickly respond to the “opportunity” presented in an attempt to mitigate food security. To this end, this paper presents a proactive strategy for food security. An ontology-driven information retrieval system for agriculture cross languages search engine is proposed, a Nigeria Agricultural Ontology (NAO). Ontology, not only to structure and standardize agricultural terminology, but to provide information which would assist farmers to facilitate agricultural production, reduce dependence on food imports, revitalized agricultural sector, create employment andthereby attained food security for Nigeria.
