{"product_id":"current-status-of-agriculture-and-farida-mahgoub-9789171067487","title":"Current Status of Agriculture and Future Challenges in Sudan","description":"Urbanisation and long-lasting civil wars and conflict mean that the demographic pattern in Sudan is changing drastically. Nevertheless, 60%-80 % of Sudanese engage in subsistence agriculture. Agriculture remains a crucial sector in the economy as a major source of raw materials, food and foreign exchange. It employs the majority of the labour force, and serves as a potential vehicle for diversifying the economy. However, no rigorous studies have explained productivity in this sector in relation to food security. The situation has worsened because agriculture in particular has been neglected since the advent of oil production in the early 2000s. Moreover, Sudan's agricultural growth has been unbalanced, with the majority of irrigated agriculture concentrated in the Centre and a huge disparity in development indicators between the best- and worst-performing regions.Thus, studies show that the vast majority of Sudanese are reported to be food insecure, especially internally displaced persons and in conflict regions such as Darfur, Kordofan and other regions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Farida Mahgoub\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9171067485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789171067487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Nordic Africa Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/16\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.21d","brand":"Farida Mahgoub","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46881183334655,"sku":"9789171067487","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c61edd11-7204-470b-a201-500fd9f65f93.jpg?v=1747970927","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/current-status-of-agriculture-and-farida-mahgoub-9789171067487","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
