McCalla (2000) observed that the first and continuing challenge facing world agriculture and in particular Africa's, is to produce enough food to feed the growing population. With two thirds of her population living in rural areas and depending directly on agriculture and natural resources for their livelihood, Africa's strategy in the development of these sectors is crucial if social and economic development is to be achieved. To be successful, strategies for managing Africa's agricultural and natural resources must be based upon and tap into knowledge systems. This is the base upon which this book is founded.
