| Description: |
A study of small-scale dryland agriculture in Africa. The book argues that adaptive management of agricultural research is needed to understand the cultivators' adaptive management of agricultural practices. It also draws on examples from dryland agriculture in Zimbabwe. |
| Synopsis: |
Climatic variability, poor soils and increasing resource pressures are undermining people's ability to make a living in the drylands of Africa. Yet they continue to respond to these pressures by innovating and managing risks and uncertainties in creative ways. This book explores how such processes can be supported and the policies needed to ensure sustainable livelihoods in Africa's drylands. |
