| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "The book provides a synthesis of the key issues and challenges which face agriculture and food production in Southern Africa. Agriculture and food security in Southern Africa are facing numerous challenges from diverse issues such as growing populations, urbanization and climate change. These challenges place great pressure on water and other natural resources, plus for biodiversity. The chapters in this book consider all these challenge from an interdisciplinary perspective, coverings key areas in constraints to production, the most important building blocks of good farming practices, and established and emerging technologies. This will be valuable to help support and inform new policies and processes, farmers from small to medium sized farms in improving food production and security, and new approached, such as sustainable intensification. This concise and informative volume will be key reading for those interested in agricultural science, African studies, rural studies, development studies, geography and sustainability. It will also be a valuable resource for policy makers, governmental and non-governmental organizations and agricultural practitioners"-- |
