AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES AMONG MAIZE FARMERS IN OGBOMOSO NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Abstract
Abstract
Despite the recognized benefits of sustainable agricultural practices, many farmers are unaware of sustainable agricultural practices and their potential benefits (FAO, 2020).World Bank, (202 1) reported that many sustainable practices require significant upfront investments. which can be a barrier for small-scale farmers, limited access to necessary resources (World Bank, 2020). Inadequate and inconsistent government policies and support for sustainable agriculture can discourage farmers from adopting these practices (OECD, 2021). Farmers often face difficulties in accessing markets that are willing to pay a premium for sustainably produced crops (FAO, 2017).
