Political decisions in the Nigerian agricultural industry /

Includes index.

Includes bibliographical references: p. 172-174.

This book situates the agricultural industry firmly within its total socio-political and economic context and shows that commitment to agriculture by the government and politicians is much more than just solving a food problem - it is a basic requirement for national survival and development in a world that has become increasingly competitive. The book deals with very many issues pertinent to the healthy development of agriculture in Africa in general, and in Nigeria in particular. It has something for virtually every branch of the industry - crop production, small-scale farming, research, education and training, extension, the environment, farmer association, women in agriculture, livestock production etc. The author advises the government to take the political decision to encourage the settlement of the nomads and provide the necessary infrastructure that will make nomadic practices unnecessary -- Book Cover.
