Originally published in 1985, this book argues forcefully and
practically for new relationship between science and the small
farmer. It advocates scientific research seeking out changes which
are already taking place within the smallholder farming sector and
building on local initiatives. Drawing on his experience of West
Africa, the author demonstrates that many of the most successful
innovations in food-crop production during the 20th century have
indigenous roots and that there should therefore be less emphasis
on ‘teaching’ farmers how to farm and more emphasis on how to
foster and support local adaptation and inventiveness. This book
will be of interest to students of agriculture, environmental
studies and rural development as well as those working with relief
and development agencies.
