Barrier analysis for daily fruit and vegetable consumption among low income consumers in Ibadan, Nigeria
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/109503
Abstract
Barrier analysis is completed with at least 45 doers of the behavior of interest and 45 non-doers who do not practice the behaviour. In this case, the behaviour of interest was the consumption of an adequate quantity and diversity of fruits and vegetables by low income adults in the focal neighbourhoods. Doers and non-doers were identified based on multi-pass quantitative 24-hour…

From pixels to plant health: Accurate detection of banana Xanthomonas wilt in complex African landscapes using high-resolution UAV images and deep learning
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/159366
Abstract
Abstract Bananas and plantains are vital for food security and smallholder livelihoods in Africa, but diseases pose a significant threat. Traditional disease surveillance methods, like field visits, lack accuracy, especially for specific diseases like Xanthomonas wilt of banana (BXW). To address this, the present study develops a Deep-…

Assessing methane emissions from paddy fields through environmental and UAV remote sensing variables
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/173771
Abstract
Concerns about methane (CH4) emissions from rice, a staple sustaining over 3.5 billion people globally, are heightened due to its status as the second-largest contributor to greenhouse gases, driving climate change. Accurate quantification of CH4 emissions from rice fields is crucial for understanding gas concentrations. Leveraging technological advancements, we present a groundbreaking…

Abstract
Meeting the burgeoning global demand for both food and energy requires substantial yield increases through the efficient use of inputs like fertilizers. Prompted by the result of a soil survey expedition in the late 1950s, which signaled a widespread deficiency of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), plant nutrition research in Ethiopia began in the 1960s, focusing on the response of…
