Year: 2015

Type: book

Abstract: Agricultural intensification in Africa is a necessary development, if rural poverty is to be reduced and \nsufficient food is to be produced for the increasing and urbanizing populations. For agriculture to \nbe sustainable in the long run, the intensification process should not greatly reduce environmental \nquality or degrade natural vegetation; hence the term ‘sustainable agricultural intensification’ has \nbeen defined as a change in the production system towards increased input use leading to increased \nproductivity, according to agroecological principles and without adverse environmental impacts or the \ncultivation of new land...
