This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is estimated that women produce more than 50% of food production world wide. In Nigeria however, the estimate is that women produce about 80% of food production. There has been an increase in female-headed households along with female-headed farms due to a variety of factors. Wives are left with the responsibility of farm management, family care and household maintenance. Women's performance in agriculture is however poor as a result of unequal privileges and opportunities availed them in contrast to their male counterparts. Theses privileges and opportunities are in the areas of credit facilities, access to land, access to education, labour saving technology and extension services. Others are neglect and absence of support from their spouses and families. Data generated from questionnaires were analyzed using frequency, percentage and regression analysis. It was discovered that age of respondents, farming experience, costs of fertilizer and herbicide were statistically significant at 1% level with respect to the farmers' output values. Access to credit and labour were major problems limiting the agricultural productivity of 77.5% and 70% of the farmers respectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study was carried out in eight villages in zone two of the Agricultural Development Project in Adamawa State, Nigeria to examine farmers' media use pattern. The study reveals that information on most of the agricultural practices, were sought and found on radio. Marketing and fertilizer information was sought and found in interpersonal media (fellow farmers and extension agents) respectively. This study also reveals that farmers actually found agricultural information on agricultural practices in the media sources from which they sought them. Finally it can be concluded that radio, extension agents and fellow farmers are still the most frequently used sources for obtaining information on improved agricultural practices. These findings suggest that more agricultural radio programs with local relevance should be broadcast on a regular basis as it would increase not only the knowledge base of farmers, but may as well lead to increased adoption and utilization. While farmers appear to differentiate media appropriate for specific practices, extension agencies should package marketing information for direct dissemination to farmers. Farmers' high non-seeking behavior of improved agricultural practices, post harvest handling information calls for concerted effort by authorities to intensify campaigns to educate farmers of the scheme's ability. It is thus imperative to revitalized extension system to increase farmers contact with extension agents through attendance of agricultural shows, demonstrations and other fairs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Nigerian Rice Economy the authors assess three options for reducing this dependency - tariffs and other trade policies; increasing domestic rice production; and improving post-harvest rice processing and marketing - and identify improved production and post-harvest activities as the most promising. These options however, will require substantially increased public investments in a variety of areas, including research and development, basic infrastructure (for example, irrigation, feeder roads, and electricity), and rice milling technologies.

This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given its heavy reliance on rainfed agriculture and projected climatic and weather changes, SSA faces multidimensional challenges in ensuring food and nutrition security as well as preserving its ecosystems. In this regard, climate-smart agriculture (CSA) can play an important role in addressing the interlinked challenges of food security and climate change. CSA practices aim to achieve three closely related objectives: sustainably increase agricultural productivity, adapt to climate change, and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The CSA objectives directly contribute to achieving the 2014 Malabo Declaration goals, which include commitments to (1) end hunger in Africa by 2025, (2) halve poverty by 2025 through inclusive agricultural growth and transformation, and (3) enhance the resilience of livelihoods and production systems to climate variability and other related risks. These linkages underscore the importance of including CSA in country and regional plans to achieve overarching development objectives in Africa, in particular food security and poverty reduction. The 2016 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR) examines the contribution of CSA to meeting Malabo Declaration goals by taking stock of current knowledge on the effects of climate change, reviewing existing evidence of the effectiveness of various CSA strategies, and discussing examples of CSA-based practices and tools for developing evidence-based policies and programs.

This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The State of the World's Biodiversity for Food and Agriculture presents the first global assessment of biodiversity for food and agriculture worldwide. Biodiversity for food and agriculture is the diversity of plants, animals and micro-organisms at genetic, species and ecosystem levels, present in and around crop, livestock, forest and aquatic production systems. It is essential to the structure, functions and processes of these systems, to livelihoods and food security, and to the supply of a wide range of ecosystem services. It has been managed or influenced by farmers, livestock keepers, forest dwellers, fish farmers and fisherfolk for hundreds of generations. Prepared through a participatory, country-driven process, the report draws on information from 91 country reports to provide a description of the roles and importance of biodiversity for food and agriculture, the drivers of change affecting it and its current status and trends. It describes the state of efforts to promote the sustainable use and conservation of biodiversity for food and agriculture, including through the development of supporting policies, legal frameworks, institutions and capacities. It concludes with a discussion of needs and challenges in the future management of biodiversity for food and agriculture. The report complements other global assessments prepared under the auspices of the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture, which have focused on the state of genetic resources within particular sectors of food and agriculture.

Download or read book Nigeria's Resource Wars written by Egodi Uchendu and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 900 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Nigeria’s Resource Wars' reflects on the diversity of conflicts over access to, and allocation of, resources in Nigeria. From the devastating effects of crude oil exploration in the Niger Delta to desertification caused by climate change, and illegal gold mining in Zamfara, to mention a few, Nigeria faces new dimensions of resource-related struggles. The ravaging effects of these resource conflicts between crop farmers and Fulani herders in Nigeria’s Middlebelt and states across Southern Nigeria call for urgent scholarly interventions; with the Fulani cattle breeders’ onslaught altering the histories of many Nigerian families through deaths, loss of homes and investments, and permanent physical incapacity. Currently, there is an almost total breakdown of interethnic relations, with political commentators acknowledging that Nigeria has never been so divided as it presently is in its history. The struggles have now degenerated into kidnaps, armed robbery, and incessant targeted and random killings across the country; compounding the already complex problem of insecurity in Nigeria. The chapters in this volume engage with these issues, presenting the different arguments on resource conflicts in Nigeria. They draw insights from similar conflicts in Nigeria’s colonial/post-independence past and events from around the world to proffer possible solutions to resource-related confrontations in Africa. By offering a collection of different intellectual perspectives on resource conflicts in Nigeria, this volume will be an important reference material for understanding the diversity of thought patterns that underpin the struggle and policy approaches towards resolving conflict situations in Africa. This volume will be of considerable interest to scholars of Africa, researchers in the humanities, social sciences, and conflict studies, and policymakers interested in understanding the resource crisis in Africa.
