Book Description
Excerpt from Basic Agricultural Resources of Kenya Reducing agricultural and consumer goods imports is a goal of particularly high priority in the Kenyan Government. It wants to substitute these imports with capital goods needed to accelerate industrial and agribusiness development. In addition to providing development capital, agriculture and agribusiness must also be relied onto provide employment during the 1970's. Over 75 percent of Kenya's l million people are engaged in crop farming or livestock raising, but Kenya's cities are annually receiving an influx of thousands of rural young men who lack urban skills. Because appropriate urban opportunities are not likely to grow fast enough to absorb them, the agricultural and agribusiness sectors will have to provide more jobs. The Government hopes to develop rural areas to provide nonagricultural employment opportunities also. Kenya's efforts to increase agricultural production and thereby raise export earnings are aimed primarily toward African subsistence farms and, especially, African smallholder farms - rather than the remaining large European-owned operations that once dominated commercial agriculture in Kenya. During the past decade, Kenya has had marked success in bringing African farmers into the market economy as smallholder-producers.

Book Description
This publication is a revised and updated version of World Soil Resources Reports No. 84 and 103 and presents the international soil classification system. Every soil in the world can be allocated to one of the 32 Reference Soil Groups as defined in this document, and can further be characterized by a set of qualifiers. The resulting soil name provides information on soil genesis, soil ecological function and soil properties relevant for land use and management. The same system, refined slightly, may be used to name the units of soil map legends, thereby providing comprehensive spatial information. By accommodating national soil classification systems, the World Reference Base facilitates the worldwide correlation of soil information.
