It provides a comparative study between Asian agricultural development during the Green Revolution in food production and the current problematic agricultural situation in sub-Saharan Africa. Case studies of eight African and eight Asian countries (focusing on the early part of the Green Revolution) were carried out. Based on these studies the book presents a causal and explanatory model of Asian green revolutions and discusses why it has occurredAgricultureAsiaGreen RevolutionAsiaFood supplyAfricaAgricultureGreen RevolutionFood supply630/.96Djurfeldt Göran1945-982019MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828218103321The African food crisis4091671UNINA
