1.5 STATEMENT OF RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS
H0: Environmental degradation has no significant effect on agricultural productivity in Nigeria.
H1: Environmental degradation has a significant effect on agricultural productivity in Nigeria.
1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
The
study on the effect of environmental degradation on agricultural
production will be of immense benefit to the entire farmers in Nigeria
in the sense that it will enable private individuals and the government
to take preventive measures to the havoc environmental degradation might
bring to the farm produce. Finally, the study will contribute to the
body of existing literature and knowledge to this field of studies and
basis for further research.
1.7 SCOPE OF STUDY
The
study on the effect of environmental degradation on agricultural
productivity is limited to subsistence and commercial faming in Nigeria.
1.8 LIMITATION OF STUDY
Financial
constraint- Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the
researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or
information and in the process of data collection (internet,
questionnaire and interview).
