Background of the Study:
Food security is a critical component of children's well-being, as adequate nutrition is essential for their physical and cognitive development. In Bauchi State, food insecurity remains a significant issue, exacerbated by poverty, poor agricultural practices, climate change, and ongoing socio-economic challenges. Children, especially those in rural and marginalized communities, are particularly vulnerable to the effects of food insecurity, as it undermines their right to health, education, and overall well-being.
The impact of food insecurity on children’s rights is multifaceted, affecting not only their physical health but also their access to education, social protection, and safe environments. This study aims to explore how food insecurity in Bauchi affects children’s rights and what measures can be taken to mitigate its effects.
