Despite its potential, sweet potato has received little attention from agricultural scientists and extensionists, so there are few sources of published information about the crop.  This book, translated and adapted fromthe original French, provides comprehensive information on the plants growth and development, optimum conditions for cultivation, harvesting and storage, and common pests and diseases.  The potential for sweet potato as a source of food security and income generation is also explored.

Livestock are kept in very varied situations in the tropics and subtropics, ranging from the close confinement of intensive systems to almost wild conditions. In all systems an awareness and understanding of livestock behaviour will help farmers to maximise the welfare and productivity of their animals. This knowledge is especially important if new management techniques or genetically improved animals are introduced into traditional systems.
