Dynamics and Diversity : Soil Fertility and Farming Livelihoods in Africa Paperback / softback

Edited by Ian Scoones

Paperback / softback

Description

Soils are critical to agriculture and, in turn, to food supply and 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 widely different areas reveal how closely bound up soil management is with complex social, cultural and ecological factors - requiring a far more subtly tuned approach to development policy and practice.

This work is a study of how the context of livelihood systems has to inform development policy and practice.
