This paper examines the determinants of food utilization in Nigeria. It employed Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) cointegration approach on annual time series data. The results of the study reveal the existence of long run relationship between food security index, level of education, food exports,educational attainment, rural and urban population. The results further indicatethat educational attainment and urban population have a positive and statistically significant effect on educational attainment on food utilization while both food exports and the share of rural population to total population have a negative effect e on food utilization. This study recommends that policies geared towards increasing school enrolment and enhancing food enhancing food availability for domestic and exports should be implemented.
