“…The households' demographic characteristics, fish characteristics and consumption patterns were analysed using illustrative statistics like mean, frequencies, and percentages. The Logit model adopted from Apeh et al (2023b) was used to analyse factors affecting household fish consumption. This logit regression model was analysed in terms of probabilities (P) (consumption or not).…”

This study analysed the determinants of household fish consumption in Enugu state, Nigeria; using 467 households selected through a multi-stage sample procedure. Data was collected using questionnaire and analysed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentages, and mean, and a logit regression model. The study results showed that azu fridge (mackerel) with the highest mean score (MS = 4.24) was the most consumed fish species in the form of fresh fish (MS = 4.56). The majority (64%) of the respondents indicated that they prepared their fish through the boiling method. The results of the logit regression analysis revealed that age, gender, marital status, education, income, household size, location, access to the market, and fish cost were statistically significant at various levels of percentages. In light of the findings, it is recommended that the government should consider these fish consumption determinants in the formulation of fish distribution and marketing policies to encourage its consumption in the state.

“…As it ventures into the scientific frontier, it will delve into the potential and ethical considerations of genetically engineered trees as a catalyst for swift climate change mitigation [10]. Trees, both organic and genetically modified, excel at absorbing CO 2 emissions, offering adaptable solutions for combatting global warming [11][12][13]. This exploration has the potential to redefine the course of the battle against global warming.…”

The declining level of crop yield in connection with soil infertility poses a major threat to farmers’ food security and income leading to adoption of different soil nutrient management (SNM) practices by rice farmers. The study identified five soil SNM options adopted by rice farmers and the factors influencing their adoption in the South Eastern region of Liberia. A multistage sampling technique was used to select study areas and participants, starting with purposive sampling of 6 high rice‐producing counties and 12 districts, followed by random sampling of 17 rice farmers from each district, resulting in a total of 408 farmers, with data collected through structured questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and a probit regression model to understand the factors influencing SNM adoption. The result showed that the majority (78.43%) of the rice farmers were into lowland rice farming, 97.55% into integrated SNM with 26.72% in organic fertilizer options. The probit regression analysis revealed that the likelihood of adopting SNM practices was significantly influenced by gender (−4.9%), age (+8.2%), education (+16.7%), land ownership (−6.8%), farm size (+4.4%), agricultural group membership (+32.08%), credit access (+4.9%), and farm distance (−8.8%). It was observed that rice farmers adopt SNM practices primarily to increase yield ( = 4.34), with secondary motivations including maintaining a healthy environment ( = 3.89), increasing income ( = 3.46), and improving food and nutrition security ( = 3.11). To ensure efficient and effective rice production and boost agricultural output, agricultural policymakers and extension services should actively promote the adoption of SNM and integrated practices by providing targeted education and increasing access to credit facilities for farmers.
