The quality evaluation of biscuit from wheat-tiger nut composite flour was carried out. Biscuit was prepared from varying proportion of 100%, 90%, 80%, 70%, and 60% wheat flour substituted with 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% tiger nut flour respectively. The biscuit samples were analyzed for the chemical composition, physical, sensory and functional properties on the blends. The tiger nut flour addition increased (p<0.05) significantly the moisture content (4.64 – 5.16). Sensory evaluation showed that although there was significant (p<0.05) increase in the nutritional content of the biscuit, the overall acceptability of all biscuit samples decreased with increasing level of tiger nut flour.

This study examined the impact of agricultural extension services on spinach (Amaranthus caudatus) Farmers in Zuru Emirate, Kebbi State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling procedure involving purposive technique was used to select 110 respondents from 10 communities involved in spinach production in the Emirate Council. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics. About 47.0% of the respondents’ were between the ages of 36-40 years 73.0% were females, 78.0% married and 67.0% were part-time farmers with 5 years mean of farming experience. The majority (77%) of the respondents’ had 1ha of land, 58.0% inherited lands. The mean household size was 7 persons with monthly expenditure of N33, 350.00, 61.0% were aware that spinach enhance digestion and emptying of bowel, while 52.0% agreed that spinach reduces symptoms of menopause in women. Their major extension impact felt by spinach farmers were: source of farm inputs in spinach production (x=3.63); credits facilities in spinach production (x=3.62). The level of effectiveness of extension services provided to farmers were very low. They include: proper management of pests/diseases; health benefits and use of spinach (x=0.41) each. The perceived sufficiency of extension services provided was inadequate due to inadequate extension staff with supply of farm inputs being the highest (x=1.21). The major constraints were shortage in supply of spinach to match demand, increasing price of spinach, and low consumer acceptability of spinach products. The study recommended that adequate extension agents should be provided by Government and the available once should step up increased level of extension services to meet the farmers’ extension needs in spinach production in the emirate.

An update on protein enrichment efforts of complementary foods was reviewed. Complementary foods are foods used during the transition from consuming solely human milk or infant formulas to the introduction of mixed diets. Recent advances on Protein enrichment efforts of complementary foods include fortification of whole grains with legumes, fruits, tubers, crops, bioactive compounds and vegetables that are rich in micro and macro nutrients, commercial technologies such as malting, popping, fermentation and using of modern food-processing technologies such as roller drying and extrusion cooking and other unusual animal products such as insects, periwinkle, termites, cockroaches. To guarantee the nutritional wellbeing of children, a holistic approach with a focus on the first 1000 days of life is required and consistency of complementary foods should change from semisolid to solid foods to meet the nutritional needs of children. The introduction of nutritionally adequate and safe complementary (solid) foods at 6 months together with continued breastfeeding up to 2 years of age or beyond will address adequate complementary feeding practices including feeding frequency, quality and quantity of diet and food safety in addition to breastfeeding.

Shifting cultivation is a system of land use involving the slashing and burning of vegetation, few years of cropping followed by a fallow period in which farmers shift to surrounding areas. Shifting cultivation is locally known as jhum in north eastern India, roca agriculture in Brazil. Multi-temporal satellite (Landsat) data were used to identify jhum fields and fallow cycles. The current jhum fields of different years were delineated in Arc-GIS and based on imageries of succeeding years, the different jhum field categories were identified. The data were statistically analyzed using Arc-GIS software and areas were calculated using the geometrical calculation function in the attribute tables for all the years. Results revealed that the area under jhum field ranged from 9665.87 ha in 2008 to 22089.55 ha in 2000 with an average area of 15361.76 ha annually under jhum fields during the study period. More first year crop jhum fields were found to cultivate again for second year cropping as compared to earlier years. Jhum cycle of 4-9 year was found to be more prevalent (68.56%) in the district although jhum cycles of 3-16 years were observed. From the study, it was concluded that the synoptic and multi-temporal remote sensing data provided the best technique for identifying different jhum fallow cycles.
