It’s also one of the countries that’s least prepared to adapt to climate change, which will be much worse by then. Nigeria’s population is expected to roughly double by 2050, to around 400 million.

For that reason, the closest observers of federal agriculture policy annually look forward to an unheralded press release from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).
