Livestock production plays a vital role in ensuring food security, economic stability, and social wellbeing in many communities worldwide. However, traditional livestock practices often face numerous challenges, such as unsustainable resource management, conflict arising from resource scarcity, limited access to information and support systems. This paper explores the potential of digital technology as a panacea for sustainable livestock reforms and conflict resolution in our community. Digital technology offers transformation opportunities to address these challenges and promote sustainable livestock practices. The intergration of digital tools, precision agriculture, data analytics, internets of things (10T), and artificial intelligence, enables the collection and analysis of real-time data on animal health, nutrition, and environmental conditions. These advancements facilitate evidence-based decision-making, optimize resource allocation, and enhance productivity while reducing environmental impact. Furthermore, digital platforms and mobile application provide accessible and user-friendly interfaces for livestock farmers, extension workers and community members. Moreover digital technology can contribute to conflict resolution within the livestock sector. By enabling transparent and traceable supply chains. Block chain technology helps prevent fraud, reduce theft, ensures fair market transactions, enhance security and mitigate conflicts related to land use, grazing area and resource allocation. However the successful implementation of digital technology for sustainable livestock reforms and conflict resolution will ensure equitable access to digital infrastructure, addressing the digital divide, fostering digital literacy, and considering the specific needs and contexts of different communities. In conclusion, digital technology holds immense potential as a panacea for sustainable livestock reforms and conflict resolution in our community. Embracing digital tools and fostering digital inclusion will pave the way for a resilient and thriving livestock industry that contributes to sustainable development and community well-being.

Middle-age is in-between adulthood and old age and lifestyle adopted is one of the major factors that contribute to how slow or fast the progression occurs. The study elicited information on knowledge of antioxidant rich foods and the way middle aged adults in Igbo Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State consume them. The cross-sectional study involved 399 adults whose information on personal and socio-economic status, knowledge of antioxidant-rich foods and their consumption patterns were obtained. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze data on personal and socio-economic status, knowledge and consumption patterns of antioxidant rich foods while association between knowledge of antioxidant rich foods and consumption was tested with chi-square. Knowledge of antioxidant rich foods, 86% were not aware that vitamins, minerals and other compounds exist as antioxidants. Similarly, 96% could not identify dietary sources of antioxidants, 78.7% and 81.7% were not aware that vitamin C helps reduce effect of oxidative damage and vitamin E helps delay ageing, respectively. Overall, knowledge grade revealed that 59.9% and 40.1% had poor and good knowledge, respectively. Fruit and vegetable intakes showed that 28.1% and 11.3% took them twice daily while 23.3% ate grains, legumes and nuts twice daily. For the three food groups, 7.3% and 2.3% never consumed them. There were positive associations between knowledge of antioxidant rich foods and consumption from various sources by the adults. This shows that good knowledge of dietary sources of antioxidant improves intakes while reverse could be true when knowledge is poor.
中年人介于成年和老年之间，所采取的生活方式是影响中年人年龄增长快慢的主要因素之一。这项研究收集了埃努古州伊格博埃提提地方政府辖区中年人对富含抗氧化剂的食物的了解以及食用这些食物的方式。这项横断面研究涉及 399 名成年人，研究人员了解了他们的个人和社会经济状况、对富含抗氧化剂食品的了解以及他们的消费模式。研究采用描述性统计方法分析了有关富含抗氧化剂食品的个人和社会经济状况、知识和消费模式的数据，并用卡方检验了富含抗氧化剂食品的知识与消费之间的关联。在对富含抗氧化剂食品的了解方面，86%的人不知道维生素、矿物质和其他化合物具有抗氧化作用。同样，96%的人不能确定抗氧化剂的膳食来源，78.7%和 81.7%的人不知道维生素 C 有助于减少氧化损伤，维生素 E 有助于延缓衰老。总体而言，知识等级显示，59.9%的人知识较差，40.1%的人知识较好。水果和蔬菜的摄入量显示，28.1%和 11.3%的人每天吃两次水果和蔬菜，23.3%的人每天吃两次谷物、豆类和坚果。对于这三类食物，7.3%和 2.3%的人从不食用。成年人对富含抗氧化剂食物的了解与从各种来源摄取抗氧化剂食物之间存在正相关。这表明，对膳食中抗氧化剂来源的了解越多，摄入量就越高，反之则越低。

The impact of the current global pandemic on family economy in Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. In a few months of Covid-19 pandemic, millions of people were hit by the deadly virus which claimed a lot of lives worldwide, including Nigeria. The Federal Government also declared total lockdown of outdoor economic activities, ceremonies, institutions, religious activities, and stay-at-home order to prevent the spread of the deadly virus in the country. The declaration made life very difficult for the masses with families inclusive. The onset of the lockdown that affected all individuals put set-back on economic activities and this impacted negatively on the income of families. This made it very hard for families to improve their economic powers especially those in rural and urban areas. Thereby, enhancing vulnerability, making the poor to become poorer because there is no backup that the poor could easily fall on. More so, the capacity to recover and adapt became impaired. Families faced challenges in the emergence of the pandemic. Hence, this paper discussed Covid-19 pandemic, the families, challenges of Covid-19 pandemic faced by families in Nigeria, survival strategies utilized by the families, and finally due to advancing family income.

This study sought to investigate the role of digital resources in improving teachers’ knowledge of nutrition and how such knowledge of nutrition can influence the family’s nutrition and consumption pattern. To achieve this, two research questions were raised: What is the digital device that teachers get nutrition education more from? How does the knowledge of digital nutrition education impact on their food consumption pattern? The study adopted a cross-sectional design. Data were analyzed using frequency counts, mean and standard deviation. Results showed that the highest sources of digital nutritional knowledge were YouTube (28.6%), Facebook (24.4%) and Google (15.7%), while WhatsApp was the lowest (6%). Findings also revealed that majority of the respondents apply the nutritional knowledge from these sources in planning and preparing family meals with the intention to advance proper nutrition and healthy living of their families. The study recommended that Ministry of Health in collaboration with the Ministry of Education should develop Nutrition Education materials and upload via YouTube, Facebook, and other social media platforms for teachers to access them.

The world today has become a global village of the advancement of the information and communication technology. Apart from the physical economy, it was created a digital economy where almost all that can take place in the physical can also take place. Does this have any impact on the development of the family? This study is aimed at investigating the relationship between online marketing, social media and family development among residents of Edo state. This study will adopt the correlational survey design. Three research questions were raised to guide the study, while three corresponding hypotheses were formulated for this study. The sample of people living in the three senatorial districts of Edo State, Nigeria, was drawn using a multi-stage sampling approach. The Impart of Digital Economy Tools Scale (IDETS) was the tool used to gather the data. The analytical works were addressed using inferential statistics, the first two hypotheses were tested using the Pearson Product Moment method, and the third hypothesis was tested using the method of multiple regression at the threshold of 0.05 percent. From the results, it was found that there is a significant relationship between online marketing and use of social media and family development; and that online marketing has a higher influence on family development. Based on the above, it was recommended that families should explore the positive and development aspect of online marketing to the advantage of family development; family members should focus more on the development of the family, which is the main idea behind internet development and use than the pathological aspect; and finally, that the government should make policies towards the regulation of internet use to control for addiction/overuse.

From the results, it was found that there is a significant relationship between online marketing and use of social media and family development; and that online marketing has a higher influence on family development. Based on the above, it was recommended that families should explore the positive and development aspect of online marketing to the advantage of family development; family members should focus more on the development of the family, which is the main idea behind internet development and use than the pathological aspect; and finally, that the government should make policies towards the regulation of internet use to control for addiction/overuse.
