Abstract

This study evaluated the impact of Promoting Sustainable Agriculture Project in southern Borno State, Nigeria (PROSAB) on food security, farm income and rural livelihoods of households. The major objective of the study was to evaluate the impact of PROSAB on food security, farm income and rural livelihoods.

The specific objectives were to describe the socio-economic characteristics of households, their livelihoods and asset ownership, determine and compare the farm incomes and farm profitability of PROSAB and non-PROSAB households.

Compare food security status of households in the project area and non project area and compare food security status in the project area with that in 2004 and, identify constraints faced by farmers in the project area and assess the perception of women, men, and youth groups (farmers) on the impact of the project.

Using a multistage sampling technique, three out of the four LGAs under the project were covered. The three LGAs were selected at random to include Biu, Hawul and Kwaya Kusar LGAs. Two communities from the list of the 39 communities in the project area were selected.

Introduction

Agriculture is still the most important sector of the Nigerian economy due to the fact that it plays very important role in its developmental process (Arifalo and Ayilaran, 2011). It is the dominant occupation of rural Nigerians and it is practiced under rain fed condition and under irrigation.

It constitutes a significant sector of Nigeria’s economy. This is explained by its contribution to growth rates of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at 1990 constant basic prices (percentage points) to be 2.4 in 2010 (CBN, 2011^a). This can be understood when we realize that no activity sector contributed as much.

The closest was services which was 2.1%. Similarly, its contribution to the GDP at current basic prices was N11,590, 120.18 million in 2011 (CBN, 2011^b) and has contributed immensely to its economic development. It plays an important role in the economic development of Nigeria.

It provides food for the growing population, employment for over 65% of the population, raw materials and foreign exchange earnings for the development of the industrial sector and generation of household incomes for farmers (Kwaghe, 2006; Amaza, 2000).
