摘要

摘要 本研究旨在探讨作物多样化对尼日利亚夸拉州玉米种植农粮食安全状况的影响。研究采用多阶段抽样技术,通过访谈表从 183 位以玉米为生的农民那里获得了数据。数据分析采用了赫芬达尔指数法、世界粮食计划署用于确定家庭粮食安全的食品消费评分法以及卡方检验法。结果显示,略高于一半的受访者(51.4%)的作物多样化程度为中等。大多数受访者(91.3%)的粮食消费量可以接受(大于 35),这与他们的粮食安全状况相符。农民的作物多样化表明,在 1%的显著性水平上,作物多样化对农民的粮食安全状况有积极和显著的影响。半数以上的受访者认为,作物多样化对增加获得积极健康生活所需的食物(56.3%)、获得可利用和可消化的食物(57.4%)以及获得充足的食物(53.6%)有很大影响。研究得出的结论是,作物多样化做法增加了夸拉州以玉米为生的农民获得充足、可利用和可消化的首选食物的机会,有助于他们过上积极健康的生活,从而促进了粮食安全。因此,推广人员应提高对作物多样化对研究地区农民产出重要性的认识。

Perceived Effects of Crop Diversification on Food Security of Farmers in Kwara State Nigeria
Summary This study was conducted to examine perceived effects of crop diversification on food security status of maize-based farmers in Kwara State, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed to obtain data from 183 maize-based farmers using an interview schedule. The data were analyzed using Herfindahl indexing, Food Consumption Score of the World Food Programme for determining household food security and Chi-square test. The results showed that the extent of crop diversification was moderate for slightly above half of the respondents (51.4%). The majority of the respondents (91.3%) had acceptable food consumption (>35), which corresponds to their food security situation. Crop diversification among the farmers indicated positive and significant influence of crop diversification on the food security status of the farmers at 1% level of significance using chi-square. More than half of the respondents perceived that crop diversification had strong effects on increased access to food preferences for an active and healthy life (56.3%), access to utilizable and digestible food (57.4%) and access to sufficient food (53.6%). The study concluded that crop diversification practices contributed to food security by increasing access to preferred sufficient, utilizable and digestible food for active and healthy life of maize-based farmers in Kwara State. Thus, extension agents should increase awareness of the importance of crop diversification for the farmers’ output in the study area.
