Examining the Effects of Agricultural Productivity on Household Living Conditions

Author(s) Ruth Chilufya Bwalya, Kelvin Chibomba
Country Zambia
Abstract This study examined the effects of agricultural productivity on household living conditions in Chongwe District, Lusaka Province. Results reveal a significant correlation between agricultural productivity and household welfare, with 72% of respondents reporting improved income as a direct result of increased crop yields. Additionally, 63% of households indicated better access to education and healthcare services due to enhanced farm revenue. The study also shows that 45% of respondents were able to invest in better housing conditions, further illustrating the positive effects of agricultural productivity. Furthermore, food security improved significantly, with 80% of households reporting a stable and reliable food supply as a result of increased agricultural production.
The findings revealed that households with higher agricultural productivity generally experienced improved living conditions. Increased crop yields enabled better food security, reduced dependence on external food purchases, and provided surplus for sale, which enhanced household income.
This increased income which contributed to improved access to healthcare and education services, reducing poverty levels in the district. Furthermore, agricultural productivity was linked to higher employment opportunities, as households often hired additional labor during peak farming periods. However, the study also identified significant challenges, including gender disparities in agricultural labor, with women often having limited access to agricultural resources compared to men.
Keywords Agricultural productivity, household living conditions, food security, employment, Chongwe District, Lusaka Province.
