About NFSHS
- Nationally, NFSHS plays a vital role in promoting food security, environmental sustainability, and climate resilience.
The Nigeria Soil Information System (NiSIS) was set up under NFSHS as a national platform designed to collect, manage, and disseminate reliable soil data and information across the country. It provides a centralized system for soil mapping, monitoring, and analysis, enabling stakeholders to access up-to-date knowledge on soil properties, fertility, and land resources. By integrating advanced digital tools, geospatial technologies, and scientific research, NiSIS ensures that decision-makers, researchers, farmers, and policymakers have access to the critical information needed to support sustainable land use and agricultural development.
Through collaboration with government agencies, research institutions, and international partners, NiSIS serves as a strategic tool for guiding agricultural practices, combating land degradation, and ensuring that Nigeria’s soil resources are effectively managed for current and future generations.
