Summary : The purpose of this study was to determine the confluence of some ecological factors to nutrition knowledge and attitude. Specifically, it sought to : (1) determine the nutrition knowledge and attitudes of husbands and wives; (2) ascertain the relationship of nutrition knowledge and attitude to some demographic characteristics, some socio-economic factors, involvement in related community activities and access to sources of information to nutrition knowledge and attitudes of husbands and wives; (3) determine the confluence of ecological factors that affect nutrition knowledge and attitude; and (4) find out the relationship between nutrition knowledge and attitude. A significant positive relationship existed between nutrition knowledge and attitudes and educational attainment of husbands and wives. Likewise, a significant positive relationship existed between nutrition knowledge and attitude of husbands with some socio-economic factors such as annual household income, level of living, production consumed from the rice field and the dry land, production consumed from home yard, weekly consumption, and various important expenses.
