Book Description
The Subsistence Agriculture Study Group (SASG) at the University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, was established as a sub-committee of the Research Committee of the Faculty of Agriculture in 1979. Its essential function was to co-ordinate the research activities of members of different departments in the Faculty who were interested in questions having to do with subsistence agriculture. In order to attain a multi- and inter-disciplinary approach and to incorporate socio-economic aspects in the research programmes, SASG extended its membership to the Development Studies Research Group (DSRG) and to other departments within the University. Public and private organizations which were engaged in development work were also invited to participate.

Conservation Agriculture for Africa
Author: Amir H Kassam
Publisher: CABI
ISBN: 1780645686
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
Tillage agriculture has led to widespread soil and ecosystem degradation globally. This is especially so in Africa where traditional and modern tillage-based agricultural practices have become unsustainable due to severe disturbance and exploitation of natural resources, with negative impacts on the environment and rural livelihoods. In addition, agriculture in Africa today faces major challenges including increased costs of production and energy, the effects of climate change, and the lack of an effective paradigm for sustainable intensification, especially for small- and medium-size holdings. Africa is facing a serious challenge to food security and as a continent has not advanced towards eradicating hunger. In addition, the population is still growing much faster than on most other continents. This pressure has led to the emergence of no-till conservation agriculture as a serious alternative sustainable agriculture paradigm. In Africa, in recent years, conservation agriculture techniques and methods have spread to many countries, as greater development, education and research effort are directed towards its extension and uptake. This book is aimed at agricultural researchers and scientists, educationalists, and agricultural service providers, institutional leaders and policy makers working in the fields of sustainable agriculture and international development, and also at agroecologists, conservation scientists, and those working on ecosystem services.

Ecology and Conservation of Estuarine Ecosystems
Author: Renzo Perissinotto
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107354994
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 515
Book Description
St Lucia is the world's oldest protected estuary and Africa's largest estuarine system. It is also the centerpiece of South Africa's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, the iSimangaliso Wetland Park, and has been a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance since 1986. Knowledge of its biodiversity, geological origins, hydrology, hydrodynamics and the long history of management is unique in the world. However, the impact of global change has culminated in unprecedented challenges for the conservation and management of the St Lucia system, leading to the recent initiation of a project in support of its rehabilitation and long-term sustainability. This timely volume provides a unique source of information on the functioning and management of the estuary for researchers, students and environmental managers. The insights and experiences described build on over 60 years of study and management at the site and will serve as a valuable model for similar estuaries around the world.
