About the Cover

Health has been considered critical to humans’ existence, while its roles in livelihood and wellbeing, remained largely unquantified among susceptible economic stakeholders. This study seeks to explore the limitative health roles in livelihood and wellbeing, using primary data from 210 poultry farm households, collected by a multistaged sampling procedure, and analysed using parametric, and nonparametric tools. Analytical result showed that; majorities (70.83%) of the healthlimited households were solely farmers, with higher multidimensional poverty incidence, and significantly fewer rooms per household, relative to the health nonlimited households category. Furthermore, result from the derived- disintegrated Alkire- Foster Multidimensional poverty measure on determining health limitational contributions to multidimensional poverty, found that the mean weighted health deprivation (Mean HW) score, and mean deprivation counts (Mean DC) for the health-limited households was 16.667, and 29.398 respectively

Adesina Oyelami, Iyanuoluwa Olamide Aliu, Oluwafemi Royal Aliu, Adeola Oluwatosin Adeniran

Food insecurity is a challenge that arises from insufficient access to food productivity which manifests in various forms in different households based on the available entitlements. For rural agricultural groups that most rely on subsistence agriculture, food security is chiefly realized through food productivity. Similarly, food productivity is enhanced based on the level of finance available for farmers. This study examined the factors influencing inclusive finance among farmers in Ondo state, Nigeria.
