      abstract = {Nutritional depravation (both in quality and quantity) is  high amongst the rural inhabitants of
Nigeria. The study  was carried out to examine the dynamics of nutritional  depravation and its
determinants among farming households  in Southwest, Nigeria. The results indicated that  39.96%
households in the region were able to meet the basic  nutritional demands the year round, while
64.58% of the  male-headed households are nutritionally well off and are  able to meet their food
requirements. Estimated minimum  amount required to meet the basic nutritional requirements  of
a person (on a weekly basis) was N 451.48 (1 United  States dollar = N165), whereas the amount
actually spent  was N 412.95, indicating a gap between the demand and  supply of food items and
expected to affect the overall  health of the individual in some way or another. The  results from the
transitory matrix indicated that 44.2%  households were nutritionally well off.},
