Influence of Farmers’ Income Level on Attainment of Sustainable Development Goal Two in Cross River State, Nigeria
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study focused on farmers’ income level and attainment of sustainable development goal two in Cross River State, Nigeria. To achieve the purpose of this study, a null hypothesis was formulated to guide the study. A review of related literature was carried out based on the variable of this study. The survey research design was considered useful for the study. Multi-stage sampling approach involving stratified sampling, simple random sampling, and systematic random sampling techniques were used in the study to select 900 subjects used as sample in each ward in the research area. A twenty-item modified four (4) points Likert scale questionnaire titled Farmers’ income and Attainment of Sustainable Development Goal 2 Questionnaire (FIASDGQ) was used for gathering data for the study. The hypothesis formulated was tested at 0.05 alpha level. To test the hypotheses formulated for the study, One Way Analysis Of Variance (ANOVA) statistical tool was used for data analysis. The results from data analysis and hypothesis testing indicated that there is a significant influence of farmers’ income level on the attainment of sustainable development goal two in the study area. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among others that farmers are advised to diversify their income sources by engaging in off farm income activities that can relive capital constraints and provides a safety net against agricultural loses.
