Preface

Agriculture has been the introductory of veritably civilization for thousands of times, due to food goods it produces, its capacity to harness natural coffers and forming geography.

So results thus must be set up for empowering peasants to deal with similar problems.

It’s also associated with the problems of land power, soil type, vacuity of inputs and vacuity of force thereby discouraging the stopgap of large scale product among the growers, and ranch products among the growers and substantially subsistence as a result of this, the growers can not meet up with their norms. The main purpose of this study was to identify result to deal with challenges facing peasant husbandry system in Uhunmwonde original government, Edo State.
