Abstract:
This study examined the impact of flooding on food security in Ogwuikpele and Atani communities in Ogbaru local government area, Anambra state. "The population of the area based on the 2022 projection figure is 35,000 for Ogwuikpele and Atani Communities. A sample of 400 emerged which was determined using Slovin (1964) formula for large population. An objective was formulated to guide the study. The study adopted survey design. Simple percentages and frequency tables were adopted. Chi-square was used to test the hypothesis. The finding of the study shows that flood has not affected food security of Ogwuikpele and Atani in Ogbaru local government area of Anambra State. Hence, the study recommends that there should be a deliberate policy to compel communities especially in rural areas to build house using durable materials and away from the flood prone areas.
