The paper examined the Use of Social Media for Disseminating Agricultural Information amidst Food insecurity in Nigeria. The paper used literature review to collect relevant data. Deductions were drawn from content analysis of the literature reviewed. The findings indicate that subsistent farming is one of the major causes of food insecurity in many developing countries, because of lack of information that could educate the farmers on best practices to improve production for better yields. The paper argued that with the use of social media, farmers could share information that will improve their farming practices which could guarantees bumper harvest for consumption by the families of the farmers and exporting the surplus to markets. In addition, the farmers could also use the social media to keep in touch with their colleagues, family members, agricultural extension workers, Scientist and experts in the field not only in their locality but throughout the globe.
