Assessing the impact of the adoption of agroforestry technology on food production and poverty reduction among farming households in Oyo State, Nigeria Felix Oakhena Idumah Acta Fytotechnica Et Zootechnica, 2021 Poverty in Nigeria has been on the increase, notwithstanding several governmental and nongovernmental interventions to reduce it through poverty alleviation/reduction programmes and projects (Adepoju and Okunmadewa, 2010). Estimate of poverty incidence from 2009–10 was 53.5% according to the international poverty line of $1.90 per person per day (2011 Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)). In 2016, it was projected to have fallen to 48.4%. But owing to slow growth, poverty has been on the rise (World Bank, 2018). The United Nations Human Development Report (2019) declares that Nigeria’s Human Development Index (HDI) value for 2018 is 0.534 which puts the country in the low human development category, positioning it at 158 out of 189 countries and territories.
Training needs assessment of palm oil processors in Ijebu North Local Government Area, Ogun State Titilope Omolara Olarewaju, Felix Oaikhena Idumah, Agatha Itohan Oseghale, Lucy Adeteju Orumwense, Olugbenga Simeon Oke, et al. Developing Sustainable Food Systems Policies and Securities, 2020 The study assessed training needs of palm oil processors in Ogun State, Nigeria. A well-structured questionnaire was used to elicit information from 90 palm oil processors. The data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Majority of the respondents were young, married, and experienced in palm oil processing. Women are mostly involved in palm oil processing using manual method of processing with oil palm fruits sourced more from family farms. Respondents require training for manual and mechanized processing methods. Socioeconomic factors have significant influence on different stages of palm oil processing. Poor extension service, high cost of labour, and processing machine were the most perceived constraints to palm oil processing in the study area. The study therefore concludes that there is need for training in oil palm processing. Extension service providers should intensify efforts in this regard so as to boost the palm oil supply both within and outside the country.
