dc.description.abstract | The overall purpose of this study is analyzing the effect of Kinyara out-grower scheme on
household food security. Specifically, the study aimed at determining the level of food
insecurity among sugarcane growers in Kinyara, studying their socio-economic status and
then assessing the effect of sugar cane growing on food insecurity in Kinyara.
This study utilized an exploratory research design involving qualitative and quantitative
data. This design was deemed appropriate for this study since it seeks to provide insights
and outstanding effects of the out-grower scheme to the household food insecurity or the
factors affecting food security amongst the out-grower farmers the causes of food insecurity
to the sugarcane out grower farmers and the possible solutions to the food insecurity
amongst the sugarcane out growers. A sample size of 240 respondents was computed using
the Taro Yamane’s formula. The study also accounted for a 5% non-response. Respondents
were selected on the basis of simple random sampling where each farmer was assigned an
equal chance of selection into the sample.
The one-way ANOVA was estimated to find out the effect of sugarcane growing scheme at
Kinyara sugarcane works on food security. Results showed that sugarcane growers were food insecure as related to non-sugarcane growers who were found to have much of their land
subjected to farming food crops. Besides, sugarcane growing, sugarcane growers need to put
aside part of their land for food production, else much of the incomes from the sugarcane
growing would be spent into buying food from the market thus extorting much of their surpluses
and leaving them at a higher cost and poor standards of leaving. | en_US |
