The chapters focus on rice and maize, which are promising and strategic smallholder crops. Significantly, we find that an African Rice Revolution has already begun in many irrigated areas, using Asian-type modern varieties, chemical fertilizer, and improved management practices. Further, we find that the same technological package significantly increases the productivity and profitability of rice farming in rainfed areas as well. We also find evidence that that management training, when done well, can boost productivity on smallholder farms. This suggests that African governments can accelerate the pace of Africa’s Rice Revolution by strengthening extension capacity..The story for maize is wholly different, where most farmers use local varieties, apply little chemical fertilizer, and obtain very low yields. However, in the highly populated highlands of Kenya, a number of farmers have adopted high-yielding hybrid maize varieties and chemical fertilizer, as was the case in the Asian Green Revolution, apply manure produced by stall-fed cows, as was the case during the B | | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | | 关键词 | Asian Technology; Green Revolution; Lowland Rice; Maize-Livestock Interaction; Management Training | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-4-431-55693-0 | | isbn_softcover | 978-4-431-56295-5 | | isbn_ebook | 978-4-431-55693-0Series ISSN 0929-127X Series E-ISSN 2511-8560 | | issn_series | 0929-127X | | copyright | The Editor(s) and the Author(s) 2016 |
