Agricultural Risk Management Strategies Needed By Farmers For Sustainable Crop Production In Enugu State
ABSTRACT
Agriculture
makes use of the land to raise plants and animals. It is the basic source of
food for human sustenance on the planet earth. Agriculture is the production of
food, feed, fibre and other goods by the systematic growing and harvesting of
plants and animals. Agriculture is also seen as the entire range of
technologies associated with the production of useful products from plants and
animals, including soil cultivation, crop and livestock management and the
activities of processing and marketing, (Sci-Tech Encyclopedia, 2009). It is a
channel through which man obtains both fleshy and vegetable foods, fibre for
cloth and even wood and plant coverings for shelter. Agriculture in the opinion
of Osinem (2008) is the most essential activity for human survival; because it
feeds, produces basic commodities for the society and provides gainful
employment for the majority. Ikala (2010) described agriculture as the
profession of majority of humans. Hence, it is not out of place to say that
agriculture is the basic foundation upon which all other spheres of human
development stands.
