dc.description.abstractThe study examines women farmers- and food security in Asa Local Government Area of Kwara State. Both primary and secondary sources of data were used to source information from the respondents. Random sampling technique was used to select ten villages from the 24 villages that make up-Asa Local Government Area (LGA) of Kwara state and a total of one hundred and fifty (150) women farmers were sampled. The women farmers were also interviewed to obtain information on their socio-economic characteristics, farm activities, farm production and factors motivating them into farming. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data collected. The results of multiple regression technique which was used to detect the most important factors that account for contribution of women farmers to food production revealed that poverty level, accessibility to land and credit facilities are the most important factors motivating women into food production and food security. Recommendations were made that women should be included in decision making and should have equal access to agricultural resources like their male counterparts.en_US
