Languages : en
Pages : 598
Book Description
The volume analyses how to make Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) Policies relevant for inclusive growth strategies in Africa.The base for a transformative STI policy is to link the STI policies to Africa's economic transformation policies. In a first part the general issues of introducing effective STI policies are presented. In a second part country case studies highlight the new approach. Cases such as Sudan and Nigeria are analysed, as these two countries have a long history of STI development; because of different history, size and structure they need to move in different directions towards a coherent STI policy for inclusive growth.

The Ecological Farm
Author: Helen Atthowe
Publisher: Chelsea Green Publishing
ISBN: 1645021815
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
The breakthrough resource for fruit and vegetable growers at every scale who want to go “beyond organic” and build higher soil quality and fertility using fewer inputs through a unique ecosystem-balancing approach. The Ecological Farm is the go-to guide for ecological growing, with a unique focus on reduced tillage, minimizing farm and garden inputs, and pest control. Reflecting the wisdom that farmer, consultant, and educator Helen Atthowe and her late husband, Carl Rosato, gained during decades of farming experience, this book guides readers on how to reduce or eliminate the use of outside inputs of fertilizer or pesticides—even those that are commonly used on certified organic orchards and market gardens. In clear language and with color photographs, charts, and graphs throughout, the book emphasizes the importance of managing the details of an entire growing system over the full life of the enterprise. Based on advances in scientific research in ecological food production, farmers, homesteaders, permaculturists, and gardeners alike will learn methods to: • design a farm system that maintains a growing root in the soil year-round to feed the microbial community instead of just crops • strengthen the “immune system” of a farm or garden • supply crop needs using only on-farm inputs such as cover crops and living mulch • maximize the presence of beneficial insects and microbes that support healthy crop development • minimize ecological impact in dealing with insect pest and disease problems This book also features a crop-by-crop guide to growing more than 25 of the most popular and profitable vegetables and fruits, including specific management advice for dealing with pests and diseases. The Ecological Farm makes complex, sometimes messy, ecological concepts and practices understandable to all growers, and makes healthy farming—in which nature is invited to participate—possible.
