- W830785047 abstract "Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces a formidable challenge. Most rural Africans remain poor and food-insecure in the aftermath of widespread macroeconomic, political and sectoral reforms that have largely failed to stimulate significant agricultural productivity improvements. Meanwhile, the extensive margin of new arable land available to bring into cultivation, so as to satisfy population-driven increases in food demand, is rapidly being exhausted across most of the continent. There are thus intense pressures for agricultural intensification so as to improve factor productivity without expanding the area under cultivation. Sustainable agricultural intensification requires prudent long-term management of the natural resource base on which agriculture fundamentally depends. A wide range of traditional and modern techniques1 exist for effective natural resource management (NRM). None the less, degradation of soils and other natural resources proceeds at a high rate in much of the continent, reflecting in large measure disturbingly low rates of use of sustainable NRM strategies, especially among the poorer subpopulations of smallholder producers. The challenge of improving smallholder NRM practices lies at the heart of the broader imperative for sustainable agricultural intensification in Africa today, and thus of the universal objective of reducing poverty and vulnerability on a continent in which most people today are employed in agriculture and poverty remains most acute in the countryside. Improved NRM is every bit as much about increasing productivity and incomes for the current generation as it is about preserving the quality of resources to safeguard the livelihoods of future generations. This volume provides an unprecedented synthesis of findings from across the continent. In drawing together lessons learned from the full range of African agroecosystems and economic and cultural contexts, several empirical regularities" @default.
