The political ecology of urban green space transformation in Greater Tamale, Ghana
Understanding the nexus between migration and food security
Despite being a worldwide phenomenon, systematic reflections on the nexus between migration and food security are surprisingly inadequate in major international discourses. This study therefore provides this reflection gap among rural farming households in Osun State, Nigeria. Using a multistage sampling procedure and propensity score matching technique, 200 households were sampled purposively based on their intensity and dominance in rural-urban…
