Soil tillage in Africa: needs and challenges
An atlas of cassava in Africa: Historical, agroecological and demographic aspects of crop distribution
Cassava as livestock feed in Africa. Proceedings of a workshop
The aim of the workshop is to collect information on traditional African processing technologies with emphasis on cassava as a livestock feed, to review the marketing and economics of cassava by-products, to recommend strategies for future research and development on the processing and utilization of cassava as a livestock feed, and to disseminate up-to-date information on cassava.
Impact potentiel sur l'environnement
As the problems of impact assessement are rather intractable, a fairly simple dual approach is proposed. First the major components of environmental impact of current agricultural production systems in Africa (i.e. impact of cropping, livestock keeping, fuelwood and timber extraction and burning) are summarised. Second, "danger zones" in which current and future environmental impacts will be most severe and on which ILCA has focused its problem solving-research is identified.

Report on experiences in nuclear technology transfer for agricultural production and food preservation
The report presents the benefits of nuclear technology, the central role played by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) of the United Nations in the transfer of nuclear technology applied to food and agriculture, as well as the experiences of Africa and some other developing regions in the acquisition of the technology. Some briefs are given on the discussions with scientists and technologists during missions to three African countries before concluding the report with recommendations.
