The study examined food security situation of female-headed households in Enugu State, Nigeria. The study identified livelihood activities of respondents, ascertained the food security situation, examined constraints to food security, and examined coping strategies of respondents. Multi-stage sampling procedure, snow ball and simple random techniques were used to select 72 female-headed households. Data were analyzed using mean score and factor analysis. Results showed that respondents livelihood activities included crop production (77.8%), processing and sale of palm produce (43.1%) and processing of farm produce (38.9%). Household food security situations included food secure to moderately food-insecure. Major constraints to food security of the respondents were poverty ( x̄ =2.52), lack of education and skill ( x̄ =2.50), poor rural infrastructure ( x̄ =2.50) and poor nutrition education ( x̄ =2.54). Coping strategies included restriction of food consumption of adults ( x̄ =2.21) reducing food consumption per day ( x̄ =2.00) and staying hungry ( x̄ =2.04). The study concludes that the households in the area were grossly food insecure as they spent more of their meager earning only on food. There was poor nutrition education and lack of productive skills. Poverty was found to be a major cause of food insecurity in the area as it robs people the option of fine choices. Hence, government and other development agencies should provide policies and efforts that assist Female headed households in capacity building like providing them with productive resources which will expand their scope of livelihood choices.

Subject The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on food and agriculture in China. Significance Transport bottlenecks and restrictions have interrupted supplies of feed to pig and poultry farmers. As spring planting approaches, crop farmers depend on the delivery of farm inputs to maintain yields and guarantee future supplies of rice, wheat, corn and other grains. Impacts Bankruptcies among small and medium-sized poultry farms may hasten efficiency-enhancing consolidation of the industry. Social distancing requirements will boost mechanised and high-tech farming, supported by government subsidies. Tight meat supplies are likely to persist, at least in the short term.

Poultry Farming

Poultry farming contributes to food security, economic development, stability and social equitability for the farmer and his family and supports social bonds. The intervention of these functions together leads to the social and economic sustainability of the farms. In order to determine the degree of sustainability of poultry farms, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the production system and identify practices to improve we proceeded to assess the socio-economic sustainability of the poultry farms in the province of Msila by the “DIAMOND” method. The results indicate that the best-capitalized farmers and those with technical and economic know-how are aware of the issue of economic viability and diversification of activities and customers, which improves their incomes and decreases the economic fragility of their farms. However, for most farmers, the work is difficult and the productivity of the workforce is low.
