    Employment strain at work, hierarchical dedication and job satisfaction among employees have, as of late, become the general wonder that specialists are currently eager to contemplate. The quintessence of each organization's work is evolving as it is driven by rapid, creative developments, globalization and monetary interest for improved operational skills. These progressions also benefit both individuals and organizations as they appear to result in increased work pressure and decreased job satisfaction. Based on the assertions therefore, this study examined employment strain and job satisfaction in Nigeria. Employment strain model provided the conceptual framework. The designs were descriptive and exploratory, a qualitative methodology and secondary method of data collection were used to generate information. The study revealed that employment strain has immediate negative impact on job satisfaction. It indicates a conflict of interest between the employer, who wants the employee to work hard, and the employee, who wants the compensation with the minimum effort required. Employment strain has been seen as an antecedent of job satisfaction, which can be induced by work overload, competition, self-esteem and impossible responsibilities; high employment strain has created negative psychological effects (depression), physiological effects (headaches, heart disease) and behavioral effects (absenteeism, substance use) on employees; also a depreciation of job satisfaction will have an effect on the organizational engagement, which will have an impact on the efficiency of their jobs.

Some improvement, be that as it may, is the prevailing worldview of traditional farming. Farming discoveries are water, soil and air pollution, normal asset debasement and biodiversity misfortune. Considering these emergencies and the push to discover an exit plan, this paper, in light of the assessment of present-day literature, asserted that we should change from a technocratic approach to a social arrangement framework so as to support sustainable agriculture. Agriculture ought to be viewed as an act of human instinct. Hence, the reason for this audit paper is to research sociology's commitment to achieving agricultural sustainability. The exploration shows that agricultural sustainability can never again disregard human measurement and social segments at the centre of agricultural development. Albeit rustic and normal sciences are basic, sociology needs to assume its job in inquiring about the human viewpoints that are basic to African Scholar Publications & Research International VOL. 21 NO. 2 ISSN: 2010-1086 JUNE, 2021 African Scholar Journal of African Sustainable Development (JASD-2) 10 africanscholarpublications@gmail.com 2021 understanding and sustainability in agriculture.

    FOOD SOVEREIGNTY: AN ENHANCER TO WOMEN CONTRIBUTIONS TO FOOD SECURITY IN NIGERIA
    (Cenresin Publications, 2019) Ake Modupe; Rasak Bamidele; Olowojolu Olakunle; Ake Susan; Gbenga Owoeye
    Abstract; Food security has become an issue of global concern in the recent time. Nigeria, with her huge endowed natural and human resources is not spared. The country also faces a looming food security crisis with a growing population that is increasingly dependent on imported foods. The once dominant subsistence oriented farm economy is at risk of gradual marginalisation. Insecure land tenure, scarcity of funds and credit, labour scarcity despite overall high unemployment and stagnant technology have crippled its further development. Studies of food security and the right to food both offer important starting points in tackling the production, access and consumption of food; they do not provide routes for challenging and changing the gender-inequitable food systems. This study, therefore, examined Food sovereignty and how it could enhance the role of women in food security in Nigeria. The diffusion theory provides the conceptual framework for this study. The design is descriptive in nature and a secondary source was used to elicit information for the study. Keywords: Food sovereignty, Food and food security, economic development, agriculture

    WOMEN AND POLITICAL MARGINALIZATION IN NIGERIA
    (Cenresin Publications, 2019) Ake Modupe; Rasak Bamidele; Olowojolu Olakunle; Oye Olubukoye; Ake Susan
    Abstract; The word marginalization is a social process of becoming or being relegated to the fringe of society. Marginalization at the individual level results in an individual’s exclusion from meaningful participation in society. An example of marginalization at the community level is the marginalization of women. Women are excluded from the labour force and their work in the home is not economically valued and compensated. Feminists’ theorists argued that women should equally participate in the labour force, both in the public and private sectors. Today, it is argued that women are still marginalized from executive positions and continue to earn less than men at upper management cadres. In this study, the concept of marginalization and women political participation is critically examined. It also examines the steps and procedures being followed in order to encourage women to participate in politics during the last democratic dispensation of the Jonathan administration; for example, the Women for Change Initiative and the Women Empowerment Programme. The study examines the problems faced by women during elections in Nigeria due to violence; harassment and electoral malpractices and the level of performance of various women elected into various offices.
