Instead, they increasingly turn to public or private enterprises that multiply, store and distribute seed. \u003ci\u003eAfrican Seed Enterprises\u003c\/i\u003e takes a people-centred look at the companies, public agencies and family farms that are taking on this role and making a difference to food security across Africa. Case studies are arranged by country, and each chapter includes a profile of the agricultural and policy environment that surrounds these enterprises and affects their development. Each case is unique and presents its own set of lessons, and as a whole, this wide range of experiences is a rich source of data and ideas for future enterprise, offering valuable insights for policy makers, academics and non-governmental organizations throughout the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Van Mele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845938437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845938437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cab International\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 7.40w x 0.80d","brand":"Paul Van Mele","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088882577663,"sku":"9781845938437","price":216.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d1d304a-fa3c-4cbf-92e2-f0a67f9f8fb9.jpg?v=1769107067","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/african-seed-enterprises-paul-van-mele-9781845938437","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
