ASSESSING SECONDARY SCHOOLS AGRICULTURAL STUDENTS’ INTEREST AND PRACTICAL PERFORMANCE IN ORGANIC HYDROPONIC FARMINGS

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Background of the study

Nigeria is one of the nations endowed with natural resources with a total area of 923,768 sq km of which 78% as at 2011 was used for agricultural purposes [1]. This vast land is fertile and cannot be allowed to remain fallow. Five reasons have been stated why farming in Nigeria cannot fail [2]. Those he asserted were:

i. The country has a large population of over 170 million people which is more than twice the population of Zimbabwe and South Africa together and therefore has enough labour for farming.

ii. The populace depends on staple food produced from farms in Nigeria and a greater proportion of Nigerians buy their farm produce from the market.

iii. The Government is focusing on food production by assisting interested farmers to reduce food importation.

iv. The Nigerian people like merriment more than other African countries and the foods used for such celebrations can feed four other African countries.

v. When the country attains its full potential in farming, it becomes a great foreign currency earner than what it is now.

Food production for several decades before now in the country was the mainstay of the country’s economic growth which was used to establish the first-generation Universities. Traditional agriculture was then practiced but there has been a shift to conventional agriculture. However, agriculture has become more technological, efficient and specialised and this will necessitate adoption of new ideas especially at the formative stages of secondary school students. Conventional agriculture is not environmentally friendly which requires highly specialised systems with emphasis on high yields achieved due to the inputs and other offfarm purchases. This author opined that it is these perceptions that are pushing the practice of conventional farming globally. Sustainable agriculture is still new in Nigeria and as such must be pursued vigorously to enhance food production. Sustainable agriculture is a system that takes into cognizance the major needs of the present dwellers and preserves the resources for the next generation [6]. It was noted that it is not easy to implement it as researchers and educators are not bordered about sustainable matters. For sustainability to be achieved there is need to encourage agricultural research, extension and education programmes. It has been observed that the relevance of sustainable agriculture must be clear to teachers who are the major players in the development of agricultural education curriculum
