dc.description.abstractThis study examines the correlates of belief system and farming activities in Ijumu Local Government Area of Kogi State, Nigeria. Action theory was used in this paper for understanding the relationship between a belief system and the level of farming activities in the area of study. Data for the study is elicited through questionnaires administered to ninety (90) respondents in the study area while the results were presented through the chi-square statistical technique. The results revealed that i) there is a relationship between belief in reincarnation farming and exit of youth from agriculture, ii) There is a link between traditional sacrifice and bumper harvest. Based on the above, it was recommended that the change agents should try as much as possible to supplant this popular belief (reincarnation farming) in Ijumu to avert an exodus of youths from the area. Besides, there is a need to embrace modern techniques of improving bumper harvests such as the application of Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) rather than through the cultural sacrifice to gods and ancestor
