This study presents the usefulness of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Agricultural Innovation Systems (AIS) functioning among young farmers in Tanzania. The AIS approach's preference for development results from its inclusiveness and interactions among the actors in influencing each other into learning and innovation. Young farmers in Tanzania are key actors in AIS functioning, but their ability to influence other actors using ICTs to maximize their crop productivity is contentious.

Firm efficiency and productivity analyses are important considerations in measuring performance of a farm business. Despite its potentials, the level of catfish production has failed to meet domestic demand in Nigeria. This study analyzes the determinants and returns to scale in catfish production among smallholders in Ekeremor, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Primary data collected via random sampling were evaluated using descriptive statistics, regression and elasticity of production analysis.

Economically, the development of biscuits from composite flours is advantageous. The utilization of cocoa powder, banana flour and wheat flour in the production of composite biscuit aims at developing a functional food that is relatively cheap and available. This study focuses on the evaluation of biscuit produced from composite blends of cocoa powder, banana flour and whole wheat flour in the ratios 5:5:90, 10:10:80,15:15:70, 20:20:60, 25:25:50 and 0:0:100 (as the control) respectively. The biscuits samples were evaluated for their proximate composition, antioxidants and sensory properties using standard procedures.

This study was conducted to evaluate the concentration of lead (Pb), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) of clarias gariepinus from three rivers (Uwana, Oziza, Akpoha,) and two aquaculture fish farms (PolyUwana and Ngwo) in the south-eastern part of Nigeria. Samples of fish species and water were obtained in triplicates from fishermen and aquaculture sellers. The fish samples were digested and analyzed. The physico-chemical properties of the water samples were also determined.
