The document examines the effect of crop diversification on food and nutrition security among smallholder farming households in Nigeria. It analyzes data from the 2015 Nigerian General Household Survey on 2,041 households. It finds that crop diversification has a positive impact on dietary diversity, increasing it by 10.9%, but negatively impacts subjective food security. However, households with greater crop diversification had a 53.8% higher likelihood of being food secure. The study thus concludes that while crop diversification improves nutrition, broader support is still needed for farming households to ensure food security.3 akinsola carotenoid apparent retention in ogi flour made from different pro...

Iarsaf symposium adaptation to climate change
Janice E. Olawoye presented on adaptation to climate change and indigenous and formal mitigation strategies. She discussed how climate change negatively impacts people through changes in weather patterns, threats to food security and health. Indigenous communities have adapted through practices like multiple cropping and migration. However, increased frequency and intensity of climate events requires more formal strategies like afforestation, drought-resistant crops, and early warning systems. Adaptation is needed to support livelihoods as traditional strategies are no longer sufficient. Gender must also be considered in climate policies and projects to address women's increased burdens. Individual actions like conserving resources and research can contribute to addressing this challenge.
Bimaf iita iarsaf presentation-ibadan 21.05.19
The document discusses managing climate-driven biological risks through a One Health approach. It outlines strategies such as developing early warning and rapid response systems through a farmer interface app connected to pest forecasting tools. The document also discusses building capacity, especially among youth, on modeling species distributions under climate change scenarios. Climate change is expected to impact insect distributions and life cycles, threatening food security. An integrated approach considering human, animal, and ecosystem health is needed to address emerging risks.
In a class of 50
The document discusses the importance of agriculture and food security research given changing weather patterns due to climate change. It notes that 30 students went to a bar, 20 to banks, leaving 10 for farming, but questions who will farm as the work is difficult. It encourages more research to develop crops that can grow in different seasons and conditions to ensure future food security for young people as climate change may impact current agricultural practices. The document concludes by emphasizing the critical role of farmers in providing food and calls for supporting the 22nd symposium of the International Association of Research Scholars in Agricultural and Food Sciences.

6 adeyemo farmer herder conflicts and agrarian transformationInternational Institute of Tropical Agriculture
This study examined farmer-herder conflicts in Nigeria and the resulting agrarian transformation among cassava farming households. The study found that 68% of cassava farmers were negatively affected by conflicts with herders. Many farmers who experienced conflicts took up non-farm employment as a way to sustain their livelihoods. The study recommends community-based interventions to reduce conflicts and their effects on de-agrarianization of the agricultural system.5 poster taiwo oludare
This study analyzed the marketing of captured fish in Ondo State, Nigeria. It found that 71.7% of fish marketers were female with a mean age of 44. Tilapia was the most popular fish sold, comprising 92.5% of sales. Fish marketing was profitable, with a monthly gross margin of ₦128,388.75 and a return on investment of 5.87. Regression analysis showed that storage costs, household size, and price positively impacted profits, while age was negatively correlated. The major constraint identified was lack of financing.
