Sample Description & Findings

A total of 300 persons were administered questionnaires during the period February to March 2014. The questionnaires were designed in order to determine individuals’ current consumption patterns, their awareness of campus fruit trees and their attitudes towards food. Figure 01 was designed to illustrate the sample.

Of the 300 people who were given a questionnaire, there were 226 complete responses, equivalent to a 75% response rate. More than half of the sample lived at home (51.4%) while the remaining participants lived in halls of residence (30.7%) and in off-campus housing (17.9%). The top three Faculties represented in the sample were Social Science, Science and Technology, and Engineering.
