The 20th century saw the most rapid and most dramatic agricultural
transformation in human history. Science-based agriculture brought
about many changes on the farm that transformed agriculture from
subsistence to a more productive and profitable modern industrial
based agriculture. Cassava is one of the main sources of world
carbohydrate with Africa recognised as the highest producing
continent and Nigeria as the highest producing country. Chapter One
conducted an investigation in Nigeria to find out the variable
inputs that affects the output of cassava farming households.
Chapter Two assesses rural womens level of use of information and
communication technologies for food security information in the oil
rich Niger Delta. Chapter Three explores the changing
socio-economic environment of food production in Cameroon and its
implications on food security. Chapter Four discusses the
contribution of diaspora remittances to household food security in
Zimbabwe. Chapter Five focuses on rice food security in the Pearl
River Delta of China, and demonstrates that the joint application
of silicon and phosphorus fertilisers is an appropriate option to
minimise arsenic accumulation in rice grain.
