@book{editedbycharliemshackleton2009african, added-at = {2015-05-11T00:08:41.000+0200}, biburl = {https://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2e8132984b5dc1744ff23a6c2fad7507f/apoliglota}, description = {This is a highly academic work prepared by a number of professors and specialists in botany, plant science, horticulture, nutrition, and other relevant areas. Urban agriculture is important to the African continent. Urban agriculture, contrary to former belief, is important and should be a planned part of the urban environment. By taking advantage of the plant species abundant and well-adapted to the local environment, the nutritional needs of the African population can be better met. This book is an excellent resource for anyone interested in urban agriculture. The material is well-written, thought-provoking, multi-faceted, and very comprehensive. Of course, specialists in the area of urban agriculture should have some first-hand knowledge of agricultural processes and basic farming techniques. In addition, field studies on particular vegetables available in different regions must be conducted to take the knowledge obtained from the book from the theoretical level to the practical one. One drawback to the book for some readers would be the fact that it covers such a diverse region, making it necessary to obtain addition more in-depth materials on a local climate or types of local crops in a specific region. Because of its detailed case studies and data on African indigenous vegetables and urban agriculture across the African continent, this book is a must-read for agricultural specialists working in Africa. However, because of its length and great detail, perhaps another book would be more appropriate for generalists such as urban planners. }, editor = {Edited by Charlie M. Shackleton, Margaret W.
