  • This book synthesizes existing information on the adoption of natural resource management investments and strategies (such as soil fertility improvements or erosion control) for agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa. It also critically examines current analytical methods and generates research and policy recommendations. Topics covered include: farmers' objectives and learning processes; willingness and capacity to make long-term investments; economic incentives and the importance of the resource base; and the agroecological, institutional and policy contexts.
