About 80 percent of the land is cultivable, and about 13 percent of the land is forested, and livestock are also maintained by farmers. There are four vegetation belts the coastal mangrove swamps • the rain forest • the woodland savanna • the northern savannas • Before Independence in 1960, agriculture was the foundation for the human economy in Nigeria, and Nigeria was self-sufficient in terms of food. However, with the combination of the decline to the agricultural focus with the discovery of oil and industry, and the population growth, Nigeria eventually had to start importing a lot of food. However, after a while, programs started to develop to take the nation back to it's soil, and other areas of agriculture (like forestry and fisheries) have grown in the last decade or more. You can read a little more about this in the economic history section of the site.
