Dynamics and Diversity: Soil Fertility and Farming Livelihoods in Africa
ISBN: 9781853838194 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Soils are critical to agriculture and, in turn, to food supply and to livelihoods. Sustainable management of soils is crucial for a large proportion of the population of Africa. Contrary to many claims, soil fertility is improved and managed successfully by small-scale farmers there. Careful studies from a widely different areas reveal how closely bound up soil management is with a whole complex of social, cultural and ecological factors - requiring a far more subtly tuned approach in development policy and practice. This work is a study of how the context of livelihood systems has to inform...

Thirteen contributions by an international selection of expert authors cover topics ranging...

Little more than a century old, the global banana industry began in the late 1880s as a result of technological advances such as refrigerated shipping, which facilitated the transportation of this highly perishable good to distant markets. Since its inception the banana industry has been fraught with controversy, exhibiting many of the issues underlying the basic global economic relations that first emerged in the era of European colonialism. Perhaps more than any other agricultural product, the banana reflects the evolution of...

The Tropical Oil Crop Revolution: Food, Feed, Fuel, and Forests

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Global production of soybeans and palm oil has increased enormously in the tropics over the last two decades.

This book provides a comparative...
