Beschreibung:
Emerging Development of Agriculture in East Africa offers case studies that find promise in many new innovations. Farmers in Uganda have quickly learned the management of NERICA rice (a new upland rice variety), which is being disseminated in a limited way in the region. Also in Uganda, farmers living in more remote areas have improved access to markets due to the expansion of mobile phones. In Kenya, improved milk marketing systems have increased efficiency and led to tangible increases in the adoption of dairy production technologies. And the adoption of intensive dairy production systems in Kenya and Uganda are providing significant amounts of manure and positively impacting yields of maize and banana.
Based on a study of 2,400 households in three countries-Kenya, Uganda, and Ethiopia-this book provides unprecedented insight into how agricultural productivity can be improved. It covers recent successful innovations and ways to overcome continued obstacles.
Provides great lessons for those involved in agricultural development and policy in Africa
