Abstract

This work was analysed adopting a time series panel data analysis from the period 1995 to 2014. A unit root test was carried out on all the variables in order to ascertain its stationarity and it was found that the variables were integrated of order l(1) and l(0). After the cointegration test, it was discovered that the variables were cointegrated, so it became necessary to conduct a VECM analysis and affirmed that agriculture (AGRIC) was positive to food security (FPI).
