This single authoritative work of reference provides an overall view of Sudanese agriculture up to the early 1990s. It also details factual information on agricultural production systems in various regions of the country, on specialist areas of agriculture, and on some associated subjects that have a bearing on the agricultural development of the Sudan. The volume brings together the contributions of some twenty authors with specialist knowledge and first-hand experience of the Sudan.
The editor's intention has been to provide information that will be of value in creating new agricultural foundations in areas of the countryside ravaged by war and will contribute to the establishment of sustainable agriculture in the country as a whole.
