Abstract

ABSTRACTThis study investigated rural women's use of food security information in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. A multistage sampling technique was used to select 120 respondents. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. A greater proportion (56.1%) of the women were classified as low users of food security information. Mass media exposure (t = 4.38; p = .000) and market distance (t = −2.02; p = .049) significantly influenced rural women's use of food security information. The study recommends that identified constraints to the use of food security information be addressed so as to improve the household food security situation.
