| In this paper, we examine the diversity of risks that affect farming in the Northern Guinea Savanna of Nigeria. We also investigate the perspectives of these risks in relation to their economic implications on the farming enterprises. We also show that through reorganization of these risks, some derived factors have the ability to present themselves whether as corresponding to existing categorization of the variables or not and also to enable us know which of the factors is more important than the other. Gross margin and factor analytical methods were used in computing the estimated results on a cross sectional sample of 348 farming households. Results show that farmers who were grouped under natural risk incurred the least mean production cost of N11,... |

| This paper approaches the soil and water management (SWMGT) adoption estimation from the perspective of the modern evaluation theory. As a result, the analytical procedure adopted for the study follows the Average Treatment Effect (ATE) estimation framework. The data gathered for the analysis are part of the baseline data collected from a sample of 572 households in 20 villages in Maradi (Niger Republic) and katsina (Nigeria). Results show that about 45 percent of the respondents have adopted the soil and water management (SWMGT) practices, out of 398 (70%) households that had knowledge or were aware of the SWMGT options. The joint exposure and adoption rates from three different models have been estimated at 39%. Results for joint exposure and adoption... |
