Farm Typologies and Resource Endowment Among Smallholder Farmers In Semi-Arid Region, Nigeria

Öz

The semi-arid land of the North West of Nigeria is an important niche for cereal and other arable crops production in sub-Saharan Africa. For this study, we conducted a cross-sectional survey among 168 small farm size households in the semi-arid region of North West Nigeria, using primary data. The tools of analysis include constructing typology with the aid of the multivariate statistical tools of principal component estimation and cluster study with the aid of 2021 survey data. All the three farm groups were markedly involved in non-farm activities but at different degrees. This study not only highlighted the diversity among farming households but also showcased the complexity of the semi-arid land system, underscoring the necessity for targeted incentives to develop sustainable dryland management plans. In light of this, granting better access to advanced agricultural technologies and providing training on their utilization to increase yields and livestock production could be key to bolstering their livelihoods and overall well-being.

Nijerya'nın Yarı Kurak Bölgesindeki Küçük Çiftçiler Arasında Çiftlik Tipolojileri ve Kaynak Bağışı

Öz

Nijerya'nın Kuzeybatısı'ndaki yarı kurak araziler, Sahra Altı Afrika'da tahıl ve diğer ekilebilir bitkilerin üretimi için önemli bir pazar oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma için, Kuzeybatı Nijerya'nın yarı kurak bölgesinde 168 küçük çiftlik büyüklüğündeki hane arasında birincil verileri kullanarak kesitsel bir anket gerçekleştirildi. Analiz araçları, temel bileşen tahmininin çok değişkenli istatistiksel araçlarının yardımıyla tipoloji oluşturmayı ve 2021 anket verilerinin yardımıyla kümeleme çalışmasını içermektedir. Her üç çiftçi grubu da tarım dışı faaliyetlere farklı derecelerde de olsa önemli ölçüde katılmıştır. Bu çalışma, yalnızca çiftçi haneleri arasındaki çeşitliliği vurgulamakla kalmamış, aynı zamanda yarı kurak arazi sisteminin karmaşıklığını da sergileyerek, sürdürülebilir kuraklık yönetim planları geliştirmek için hedefli teşviklerin gerekliliğini vurgulamıştır. Bu bağlamda, ileri tarım teknolojilerine daha iyi erişim sağlamak ve verimi ve hayvancılığı artırmak için bunların kullanımı konusunda eğitim vermek, geçim kaynaklarını ve genel refahlarını güçlendirmede kilit rol oynayabilir.
