EFFECT OF LIMESTONE MINNING ON AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES IN GBOKO, BENUE STATE NIGERIA

Abstract

The expansion of limestone mining activities in Gboko, Benue State, Nigeria, has raised concerns about its potential impact on agriculture and natural resources in the region. This study aims to systematically assess and analyze the effects of limestone mining on the agricultural productivity of the area and the sustainability of its natural resources.

The research employs a multidisciplinary approach, combining field surveys, geospatial analysis, and community engagement to gather comprehensive data. Agricultural parameters, including soil quality, crop yield, and water resources, are measured and compared between mining-affected and unaffected areas. Additionally, the study evaluates the socio-economic implications on local communities dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods.

Preliminary findings suggest that limestone mining activities have led to alterations in soil composition and water quality, potentially affecting crop growth and livestock health. Furthermore, the socio-economic fabric of the community is explored, focusing on changes in employment patterns and income levels.

This study contributes valuable insights to the ongoing discourse on sustainable development in mining regions. The findings aim to inform policymakers, environmental agencies, and local communities about the potential trade-offs associated with limestone mining. Recommendations for mitigating adverse effects and promoting sustainable coexistence between mining activities and agricultural practices will be presented based on the research outcomes. Ultimately, the goal is to foster a balanced approach that ensures the preservation of agriculture and natural resources while accommodating the developmental needs of the community in Gboko, Benue State, Nigeria.
