Impacts of climate change adaptation mechanisms on smallholder maize (Zea mays L.) farmers’ productivity
Climate change poses a growing threat to agricultural livelihoods, particularly for smallholder farmers who face reduced productivity and income. This study examines the complementarities among climate change adaptation strategies (CCAS) and their impact on net farm income (a proxy for productivity) among smallholder maize farmers in South Africa. Using a multistage sampling technique, data were collected from farmers across 30 villages. Analytic…
Impact of conflicts on agricultural crop investment in rural areas
Conflicts have emerged as a major constraint to agricultural development in Nigeria, undermining investment, productivity, and rural livelihoods. This study investigates the impact of conflict on agricultural investment decisions among rural households in Nigeria, using nationally representative panel data from the Living Standards Measurement Study – Integrated Surveys on Agriculture (LSMS-ISA) merged with conflict data from the Armed Conflict L…
Impact of conflict shocks on land rental market dynamics
Access to land is crucial for transforming agri-food systems, promoting market integration, and reducing poverty in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), where rural land markets are increasingly expanding. However, the escalation of violent conflicts presents serious obstacles to the effective functioning of these land rental markets and their contribution to development objectives. The study employs a household-level panel fixed effects regression model to…
Ethnobotanical uses of plants in Nigeria
Background The ethnobotanical landscape in Nigeria reflects a complex interplay of biodiversity, cultural traditions, and health practices deeply rooted in indigenous knowledge. However, the fragmented body of knowledge in the existing limited inventory poses a threat to the loss of these plants and the associated indigenous knowledge. This review examined the historical and cultural uses of plants, as well as their long-term utilisation patterns…
Covid-19 induced shocks and its implications for human capital development
The results indicate that the COVID-19 induced shocks impact on both health and education in Nigeria. Interestingly, access to social safety nets had a positive association with the health and education outcomes. The study concludes that households' access to social safety nets, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic aids in the development of the nation's human capital. Therefore, effectively enhancing household's resilience and strengthening…
Enhancing dietary diversity and food security through the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices in Nigeria
The paranoid belief that climate change will gradually reduce the ability of the world to meet the demand for food serves as the rationale for Nigerian smallholder farmers’ advocacy of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) techniques. The study investigates the effects of CSA practice on the food security status of rural farming households in Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed in selecting 480 rural farming households across three s…
Investigating the drivers of solid waste generation and disposal
With rapid population growth and urbanization, the global annual waste generation is expected to increase to 3.40 billion tonnes by the year 2050, while improper waste disposal poses a potential threat of growing concern. Using a South African nationally representative survey dataset, the General Household Survey, this study unraveled the determinants of solid waste generation and factors influencing payment for its disposal. The estimation appro…
Evaluating the Role of Households' Food Security Status and Socioeconomic Determinants on Child Mortality in Nigeria
When addressing global development, it is imperative to recognize the relationship between food security and child mortality. Despite the targeted goals of SDGs 2 (zero hunger) and 3 (good health and well-being), Nigeria continues to grapple with relatively high rates of child malnutrition, alongside persistent challenges in child mortality and food insecurity that affect its population significantly. This study employed the Nigeria Living Standa…
Smallholder farmers’ intention to use climate forecast services in the Benin Republic, West Africa
Agriculture is the sector most vulnerable to climate risks, particularly in countries where 95% are rainfed. Adaptive strategies are crucial to improve agricultural productivity and secure farmers’ livelihoods. The availability of and access to climate information reinforce the classical adaptive measures adopted by farmers and provide them with opportunities to make informed decisions. This study used an extended Theory of Planned Behaviour to a…
Assessing the impacts of commercializing medicinal plants on livelihood outcomes
Globally, botanicals and associated by-products often provide income that is recognized as an important contributor to livelihoods particularly in rural areas. However, limited data currently exists on the impact of commercializing medicinal plants on livelihoods. Using a dataset collected from 101 indigenous knowledge holders (IKHs) with interest in childhood diseases, we assessed the factors influencing their decisions to commercialize medicina…
To own or not to own? Land tenure security and production risk in small-scale farming
Socio-economic Drivers of Food Security among Rural Households in Nigeria
Issues relating to food availability, accessibility/affordability, and food utilization remain paramount among different stakeholders such as policymakers and academics. Using data from 250 maize farming households in Nigeria, the study used Foster-Greer-Thorbecke and probit regression model to investigate the factors determining households food security. The food insecurity measure shows that 23.2% points of the households express the incidence …
