The issue of food production in Africa dominates international development thinking. In this innovative book Allan Low uses the theory of household economics to establish the link between the stagnation of African farming and the rapid development of modern market sectors in southern African economies. In the process he sheds new light on cropping patterns, technology adoption, the nature of rural-urban migration, the impact of rural development initiatives, and the success of research approaches aimed at increasing the production of small-scale African farming.
