REVIEW ON NEED FOR HUMANITARIAN ENGINEERING APPROACHES IN AGRICULTURAL TECHNOLOGY INNOVATIONS: IMPLICATION FOR AGRICULTURE EDUCATION PROGRAMME IN NIGERIA

ABSTRACT
The farmers’ struggle for the mass production of food is undermined by the low level
of agricultural technology and the use of crude implements. The word "humanitarian"
has been defined as being "concerned with or seeking to promote human welfare".
There is a necessity for human intervention in agricultural development and food
security to ease the affected populace. New ways of doing things to boost the
sustainability of food sufficiency are pertinent. This paper was made to confer a
theoretical analysis in order to establish the significance of humanitarian engineering
applications and operations in agricultural technology innovation development to
boost the welfare of the developing world. It highlighted the role of agriculture in the
provision of food, shelter, and clothing as basic human needs and emphasised the
necessity of directing humanitarian-driven scientific innovations towards the
sustainability of agriculture. Based on the philosophy of building a superstructure on
a well-built foundation, it was considered vital to equip the "budding" (future)
agriculturists and engineers on humanitarian innovations and approaches. The
discourse also explored the relevance of inclusion and implication of HE in
agriculture education programmes. The paper recommended the integration of HE
approaches into the agricultural education curriculum of higher education
programmes in Nigeria.
