The Crisis in African Agriculture
Gakou, Mohamed Lamine
Publisher: ZedYear Published: 1989 Pages: 160pp ISBN: 0-06232-733-4 Resource Type: Book Cx Number: CX18812 Why is Africa no longer able to feed itself? Lamine Gokou poses this question against a background of meticulous evidence charting the dimensions of the Continent's agricultural decline. He shows what has happened to overall food production, grain output, and levels of nutrition. He argues that the solution to Africa's food crisis must be primarily political. Technical measures can only work once African peoples have taken control of their own societies. Subject Headings |
