The rain-fed agriculture system is vulnerable to climate change impact. However, such impact may also vary by aggregate and sub-sectoral levels of agricultural production. variability on production would engender appropriate policies practices towards a sustainable system. We investigated the differential impacts rainfall irrigation in Nigeria, drew lessons for climate-smart (CSA) Nigeria. Using time series data that spanned 43 years econometric analytical technique, we quantified...
Abstract Used European electric and electronic equipment (UEEE) has multiple use cycles in various countries, including Nigeria. Although the EU‐Nigeria e‐waste trade is illegal under EU Nigerian law, previous research shows that some imported only fit for disposal. Imported UEEE a short lifespan. Such exports to Nigeria have sustainability circularity implications both places raise questions about justice equity. Using transdisciplinary approach, we identify existing practices challenges...
With the growing concerns about likely implications of climate change, long term sustainability conventional agricultural approaches and biodiversity loss have contributed to a interest in potential so-called underutilised crops address food, nutritional, income security challenges. In support their wider use, advocates associate number benefits with them. These include agronomic nutritional such as drought tolerance micro-nutrient content perceived socio-economic use. It is widely suggested...
Climate change threatens smallholder agriculture and food security in the Global South. While cropland expansion is often used to counter adverse climate effects despite ecological trade-offs, benefits for diets nutrition remain unclear. This study quantitatively examines relationships between anomalies, forest loss from expansion, dietary outcomes Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country. Combining high-resolution data on cover variables within random panel regression models, we find that 25...
Abstract Nigeria's food production heavily relies on smallholder rainfed agriculture. Unfortunately, this sector is highly vulnerable to the negative impacts of climate change, such as floods and droughts. It crucial examine frequency, intensity, magnitude these events develop effective mitigation adaptation strategies ensure resilience agricultural system. This study analyses rainfall variability in agroecological zones (AEZs) over past sixty years. The research evaluates annual, quarterly,...
The study examined the effect of flooding on fishing households' welfare in Lagos State. Data were collected with aid structured questionnaire to elicit information from 412 fishers selected through a multistage random sampling technique. analyzed using descriptive statistics, budgetary technique and inferential statistics. Results revealed that rainfall was dominant climatic factor had adverse communities as 81.1% respondents experienced loss income due flooding. This occurred during...
Abstract 20 g cashew nut shell (CNS) was pyrolyzed in a fixed bed pyrolysis reactor at temperature of 700 °C, heating rate 100 °C/min, and time 45 minutes. The liquid (CNSL) obtained 61.3 %. Proximate ultimate analyses, viscosity (cp), density (g/ml), pH, FT-IR, GC-MS were carried out on the liquid. results from FT-IR analyses showed that consist mainly aliphatic aromatic hydrocarbons. analysis different compounds present this their relative abundance. From had an ash content 0.06 %, sulphur...
Abstract This article assesses the link between asymmetric information and transaction cost how this can enhance or hinder female business owners from attaining entrepreneurial sustainability transitions in Nigerian space. The concept of dissemination, environment, ease doing were scrutinized as a subdivision theory among entrepreneurs Nigeria using Enterprise Survey Data World Bank. Key indicators like regulations taxes, gender, firm characteristics, finance, infrastructure highlighted...

Achieving food security under climate change is one of the greatest concerns governments in developing countries. Due to favourable agronomic characteristics such as drought tolerance and an ability produce a crop on less fertile soils, number underutilised crops, bambara groundnut offer potentials address insecurity problems areas impacted by change. While efficiency studies have gained popularity relation many very little research has been carried out technical production. This study...
Farm-level use of organic fertilizer could be influenced by development domains that comprise human population density and markets access. Analysis 320 farm households from 16 geo-referenced villages provided the basis for assessing farm-level limitations potentials agriculture agro-ecological zones in northern Nigeria West Africa. The analysis was based on four identified domains. were clusters market access which are: low density, (LPLM); high (LPHM); (HPLM); (HPHM). It found cereal-legume...
Water is crucial to life. This has led the inclusion of a specific water-related target in Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable (SDGs). The study by World Health Organization (WHO) stated that about 663 million people worldwide have no adequate access safe drinking water while UNICEF 65 Nigerians supplies. It against this background was conducted Agbowo Community. community high rate economic poverty poor living conditions. determined gap between supply demand enumerated...
Cassava "seedpreneurship", is an emerging concept that focuses on establishing a sustainable cassava seed system. The dearth of empirical studies seedpreneurship and the gaps in understanding adoption improved varieties, profitability Village Seed Entrepreneurs (VSEs), women empowerment led to this study. This study was carried out Nigeria using multi-stage sampling method. It covered four states (Abia, Akwa-Ibom, Benue, Oyo) where VSEs out-growers' farming activities were under Building...
In the past 50 years, humans have changed ecosystems more rapidly to meet growing demands for food, fresh water, timber, fibre and fuel. This has resulted in substantial decrease biodiversity, including hippopotamus (hippo) population. There are currently about 150,000 hippos left world. Their status will change from vulnerable endangered if threats not controlled. The include destructive exploration exploitation human survival through hunting ivory meat, habitat loss due flooding...
Abstract Agribusiness is a means of job creation capable reducing unemployment among young people in developing countries. However, the rate notably higher girls who have relatively low propensity to seize new entrepreneurial opportunities than their male counterparts. Using Oaxaca‐Blinder approach, this study measures share differences men's and women's engagement agribusiness South‐Kivu province DR Congo. The builds on sample 375 people, including 28% girls, drawn from youth associations...
