Abstract

The chapter highlights the environmentally sound and commercially sustainable agriculture development in Nigeria. It provides basic information about Nigeria and addresses the present status of agriculture, use of agricultural inputs, environmental degradation, commercial farming and its pre-requisites, paradigm shift and sustainability. Nigeria has the capacity to produce crops ranging from cereals to trees and fruit crops, therefore, it has good potential for sustainable development of commercial agriculture. This can be achieved through the expansion of cultivable areas and use of external inputs to achieve maximum yields per hectare in commercial farming.
