本研究はナイジェリア・アビア州の小規模農家における有機土壌管理手法（OSMP）の導入状況と気候変動緩和効果を評価。マルチングが最も普及し、土壌水分保持などの効果が確認された。教育水準や農地面積、普及サービスへのアクセスが導入を促進する一方、年齢は負の影響を与えた。OSMPは土壌品質の改善に有効であり、気候スマート農業の戦略として有用。
English
This study assesses adoption and climate mitigation potential of organic soil management practices (OSMPs) among smallholder farmers in Abia State, Nigeria. Mulching is most common; practices improve soil moisture retention and quality. Education, farm size, extension access positively influence adoption, while age has a negative effect. OSMPs are effective climate-smart strategies for enhancing resilience and productivity.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
本論文はナイジェリア事例だが、土壌炭素貯留や気候スマート農業の評価手法は日本の農地におけるJ-クレジット制度やカーボンファーミングにも応用可能。特に小規模農家の導入要因分析は、日本の農業政策において技術普及の阻害要因を理解する上で示唆に富む。
In the global GX context
This paper provides empirical evidence on climate-smart agriculture in a developing country context, relevant for global adaptation frameworks (UNFCCC, Koronivia). The methodology for assessing adoption drivers and mitigation potential can inform international agricultural carbon projects and sustainable land management policies.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:A solid empirical model for analyzing adoption of climate-smart practices using logistic and linear regression.
🏢実務担当者:Identifies specific organic practices (mulching) and their benefits, useful for agricultural extension programs.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights key factors (education, farm size, extension access) that can be targeted to promote climate mitigation in smallholder agriculture.
📄 Abstract（原文）
This study assessed the adoption and climate change mitigation potential of organic soil management practices (OSMPs) among smallholder farmers in Abia State, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling technique was employed, and data were collected using a well-structured questionnaire. Data analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that the most commonly used organic soil management techniques were mulching with crop residues (78%). Regarding climate change mitigation potential, most respondents reported improved soil moisture retention (75%). The perceived and measurable impacts on soil health and crop productivity were also substantial, with a grand mean of 3.44. Logistic regression results revealed that education level (β = 0.145), farm size (β = 0.386), access to extension services (β = 1.274), and farming experience (β = 0.052) significantly influenced adoption, while age had a negative effect. Multiple linear regression further showed that organic soil management practices significantly improved soil quality indicators (α = 0.734), explaining 56% of the variation in soil quality. The study concludes that organic soil management practices are effective, climate-smart strategies for improving soil health, enhancing crop productivity, and strengthening climate resilience among smallholder farmers in Abia State.
