Youths Participation in Maize Farming in Kaduna State
Abstract
The paper examines the level of youth’s participation in maize farming in Lere and Fatika Agricultural Development Project (ADP) zones of Kaduna state. Results show that only 19.6% of the maize farmers falls within the age range of 25-35 years. Despite the involvement of ADPS, LGA and other non governmental organizations in extension activities in the area, the quantity of maize harvest was found to be below the recommended yield. This was found to be true for the younger age category of the farmers. The paper suggests the need for policy makers to improve on rural infrastructural development and extension activities in the area.
