Edición de la obra Developing on-farm research

"Development is a complex issue, necessitating a multi-disciplinary approach to practical and philosophical problems. This book explores the slow and painstaking processes of development essential to the preservation of the integrity of a rural community in the Third World." "On-farm research through active participation of the indigenous population is a means of overcoming the problems of famine. The obstacles to progress are identified and solutions, through the adaptation of modern technology to traditional institutions and farming systems, are proposed." "The authors' vast experience in dealing with rural communities in Nigeria will lead to a greater understanding of the sensitivity required in pioneering the intervention process. For the student or any organisation facing the challenge of Third World Development this book is essential reading."--BOOK JACKET.
