Level of Acceptance of
Migrated Food Crops: B.O. Akintunde, FCA, I.A.R. and T, Ibadan,
Nigeria T.Y. Tunde-Akintunde, FSE Dept, LAUTECH, Ogbomoso, Nigeria As man migrates from one location to
another due to a number of reasons, he introduces some aspects of his
past life/environment, especially his food preferences and values,
into the new life/environment he migrates to. However the people of
the new location/environment do not accept some of these newly introduced
aspects despite its advantages. The migration of soybean as a food
crop into the Nigerian environment especially that of the Yoruba populace
is used as a case study. Migration and Its Effect on Food Choices:
Migration of man from one location to
another results in the change of a number of things he is used to especially
the choice of food available to him. Movement of Nigerians within the
country exposes them to cultural practices and food choices different
from what they are used to. However regardless of this difference,
a lot of people prefer the old food choices to the available ones despite
its cost implication. |
