Over the last two years, Worldwatch's Nourishing the Planet team
has travelled to 25 sub-Saharan African nations - the places where
hunger is greatest - and uncovered a treasure trove of innovations
from farmers groups, private voluntary organizations, universities,
and even agribusiness companies. These innovations offer global
benefits - from the continent's role in preventing disastrous
climate change to the way urban farmers are feeding people in
cities and why even determined locavores are sustained by the crop
diversity preserved by farmers thousands of miles away. This book
assesses the state of agricultural innovations from cropping
methods to irrigation technology to agricultural policy with an
emphasis on sustainability, diversity, and ecosystem health in the
hope of guiding governments, foundations, and concerned citizens in
their efforts to eradicate hunger and poverty. Published annually
in 28 languages, State of the World is long established as the most
authoritative and accessible annual guide to our progress towards a
sustainable future. It is relied upon by national governments, UN
agencies, development workers and law-makers for its
up-to-the-minute analysis and information.
