【 摘 要 】

poultry farming (41.25%). A high satisfaction level was recorded in terms of farm yield (▁x = 2.39) and food security (▁x = 2.34). Extension workers' visits to farmers (31.25%) were poor. Risk level was low (▁x =2.25). The result indicates a significant and positive relationship between farmers’ adoption of improved crop varieties and access to extension services. The study recommends that advocacy should be scaled up for more family participation in backyard farming since it has the capacity for food security, income generation, and rural development.
