Adoption of Climate Change Adaptation Strategies and Household Food Security of Smallholder Poultry Farmers in Lagos and Ogun states , Nigeria
Abstract
This study assessed the effects of the adoption of climate change adaptation strategies (CCAS) on household food security among smallholder poultry farmers (SPFs). Using a multi-stage sampling approach, 360 smallholder poultry farmers were surveyed through a questionnaire. Percentages, mean score, and endogenous switching probit model (ESPM) were employed for analysis. The result revealed a significant negative influence for sex, age, infrastructure and access to credits, on the adoption decisions of CCAS for food security among SPFs. It further showed that SPFs could increase their food security by 1.923 if they adopted CCAS, whereas those in the adopter group would have 1.556 times more food security than if they did not adopt CCAS. Therefore, it is advised that policies be put in place to help SPFs make better choices regarding the use of CCAS, and these strategies should be included in policies and investment plans.
