CHIDOZIE THE RESEARCHER
"Hi, my name is Chidozie. I am a researcher. I disseminate improved agricultural technologies to rural women farmers to help address the problem of access to agricultural extension services in rural communities."
Dr. Chidozie Anyiro is a lecturer, researcher and policy maker currently working in a Nigerian University. His research interest focuses more on gender and poverty, especially on strategies of improving the livelihood of rural women farmers. Research has shown that women constitute a formidable and significant live wire of peasant farming in Nigeria, providing between 70% and 80% of food produced and consumed. However, they are least likely to benefit from agricultural extension services, agricultural credit schemes, and technologies that would improve their productivity due to cultural, social, biological, and religious barriers. Given that majority of women populace in Nigeria either depend entirely on farming and farming activities for survival and generation of income, or depends on these activities to supplement their main sources of income, there is a strong case for arguing that without dissemination of improved agricultural technologies, it will be difficult for rural women farmers to generate incomes that can sustain an adequate livelihood.
Dr. Chidozie provides free agricultural extension services to rural women farmers. He collaborates with agricultural institutions to train farmers on the use of improved agricultural technologies. The services he provides include dissemination of production and value-added technologies with respect to root and tuber crops, soil conservation techniques, climate change adaptation strategies, among others.
Dr. Chidozie is committed to agricultural research and extension services and hopes to contribute significantly to the realization of zero hunger, food security, and sustainable agriculture in rural communities.
Chidozie has a PhD in Agricultural Economics and two Masters’ degrees: Master of Management in Agribusiness from Lincoln University New Zealand (Distinction), and Master of Science in Agricultural Finance. He is a pure-bred academic with over 40 peer-reviewed research publications. He is an African Climate Change Fellow and holds an editorship position in 5 international Journals. He is a member of Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society (AARES), International Statistical institute (The Netherlands), Institute of Strategic Management, Nigeria (ISMN), Agricultural Society of Nigeria (ASN), and Farm Management Association of Nigeria.
His research interest spans through Agribusiness in developing countries; gender and poverty; climate change adaptation strategies; production economics; agricultural financing, social capital development, to mention but a few.
