Description

Sustaining the Soil examines indigenous soil and water conservation practices across Africa, revealing how locally developed technologies have been sidelined in favour of external solutions imposed without regard for local expertise. This Routledge publication documents the diverse, site-specific conservation methods that African farmers have refined over generations, suited perfectly to their particular environmental and socio-economic conditions. Rather than celebrating these proven approaches, conventional development projects have often overlooked or dismantled them entirely. The book challenges this pattern by recording and analysing farmers' traditional practices, demonstrating their effectiveness and relevance to contemporary challenges. For agricultural professionals, development workers, and environmental scientists, this resource provides essential insight into sustainable land management that respects local knowledge and adapts to regional conditions, offering an alternative to the top-down approaches that have repeatedly failed African communities.

Key Features

Sustaining the Soil documents authentic indigenous soil and water conservation practices developed and refined by African farmers over generations.

The book analyses diverse, locally adapted technologies that are well-suited to specific site conditions and socio-economic circumstances across Africa.

Routledge publication addresses how external solutions have displaced indigenous methods, highlighting the need to recognise and integrate local expertise.

Content covers professional horticulture and soil science, providing evidence-based alternatives to conventional development approaches in agricultural practice.

Essential resource for development professionals seeking to understand and work with indigenous conservation knowledge rather than imposing external solutions.
