About this book

Drawing on management theory and practice, this work demonstrates the link between human health and agroecosystem sustainability. Written by a scholar from Kenya, the text provides an in-depth case study with global ramifications, addressing issues that are crucial to the rapidly changing tropics. This case study illustrates how the ideas of Millennium Ecosystem Assessment, a UN-sponsored initiative involving 1300 authors from 95 counties, can be applied in practice. Exploring ecologically-based complex systems theories along with participatory action research, this book reflects key themes and uses language that has been incorporated by some of the leading organizations in the field.
