The agricultural and rural crisis besetting Africa is the result of
both policy failures and inadequacies and the product of structural
rigidities inhibiting access to and control of vital resources. The
challenge of leadership in the agricultural sector is how to design
and implement policies which would help induce growth and
development in this sector. It is against this background that the
Africa Leadership Forum convened in Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria in
July of 1989 to explore a broad range of parameters to be addressed
in the formulation of successful policies. This volume is derived
from papers submitted and presentations made. The book provides the
main conclusions and recommendations which emanated from the
conference. They highlight a series of actions which must be taken
in such areas as women in agriculture, small-scale farmers,
agribusiness, subsidies, human capital, and linkages between
international and national research anbd energy. Other topics
include - Africa's security situation; social and economic factors,
ecology, and social engineering; dietary patterns in Africa; pest
management; agricultural practice; and international organizations.
It is aimed at economists, anthropologists, ecologists,
agriculturalists, social and political scientists, and all those
interested or involved in agricultural production in Africa and
other underdeveloped countries.
