General Agriculture for West Africa (Routledge Library Editions: Agriculture)

First published in 1979. This study examines various aspects of agriculture in West Africa. There is a strong chapter on the economics of agriculture and records, farm machinery, agricultural improvement, fish and the basics of crop and livestock production are all dealt with. The role of government policy in the improvement of agriculture is also examined. This title will be useful to undergraduates concerned with agriculture who want a good grounding before going on to their specialised fields of the applied sciences, as well as to those interested in commercial farming and policy makers in civil administration.
