Struif Bontkes Tjark, Wopereis Marco. 2003. Decision support tools for smallholder agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa : A practical guide. Muscle Shoals : IFDC, 203 p. ISBN 0-88090-142-X
Résumé : This book is meant to help agricultural researchers and extension staff in the selection and application of tools that 'facilitate decision-making to improve soil fertility management and agricultural productivity. These tools provide valuable additions to traditional approaches in research and development 'because they better capture the diversity and dynamics of :farming systems and can readily be applied to provide site-specific diagnoses, analyses, and best-bet management options. A large variety of tools are presented, ranging from relatively simple nutrient-flow mapping to more complex crop growth-simulation modeling. Case studies mostly set in sub-Saharan Africa provide practical examples of the use of these tools. An introductory chapter helps the reader to find the appropriate tool for a particular topic. In the appendixes, more detailed information is provided on each tool, such as a brief description and contact addresses of the developers of the tool. This book is a result of the COSTBOX project (A Client-Oriented Systems Tool Box for Technology Transfer Related to Soil Fertility Improvement and Sustainable Agriculture in West Africa), managed by IFDC during 1999-2002 and funded by the Ecoregional Fund to Support Methodological Initiatives. The publication of this book was co-funded by CTA.
