Soil and Soil Fertility Management Research in Sub-Saharan Africa
Author: Henk MutsaersPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 131551883X
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
Judicious soil fertility management is crucial for sustainable crop production and food security in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). This book describes the various concepts and approaches underlying soil and soil fertility management research in SSA over the last fifty years. It provides examples of important innovations generated and assesses the position of research within the research-to-development continuum, including how innovations have been validated with the intended beneficiaries. Using the experience of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) as a case study, the authors analyse how processes, partnerships and other factors have affected research priorities, the delivery of outputs, and their uptake by farming communities in SSA. They evaluate both successes and failures of past investments in soil fertility research and important lessons learnt which provide crucial information for national and international scientists currently engaged in this research area. The book is organised in a number of chapters each covering a chronological period characterised by its primary research content and approaches and by the dominant research paradigms and delivery models.

Selected Writings

Pages : 504
Book Description
This volume brings together a selection of the academic writings of noted Indian economist, the late Professor Raj Krishna. These writings cover two broad themes. The first consists of his work on agricultural economics and includes papers on the measurement of supply elasticities in Indian agriculture, the management of productivity growth, agricultural price policy and distributional issues in agriculture. The second part consists of Raj Krishna's writings on the unemployment problems in India. The papers on this theme deal with measurement of both rural and urban unemployment, the causes of such unemployment and the employment effects of growth and technological change. Raj Krishna's writings cover both methodological and policy-oriented issues and include papers which had hitherto remained unpublished.
