| Abstract: | Rural communities within the low-lying contours are often subject to erosion which threatens their lives and properties. Soil erosion is an important socioeconomic problem and an essential factor in assessing functional ecosystem. This necessitated the study of the impact of gully erosion in small/medium farms in Pnyan community, Kogi State, Nigeria. In carrying out this study, questionnaires were distributed to the various groups of farmers and individuals in the community. Descriptive analysis was used for the analysis. It was discovered that 38.46% of the respondents are on lease land. 57.69% are not lease landed property and 3.85% is not lease or lease land property (either inherited or family land). |
