Traditionally Useful Plants of Africa – Their Cultivation and Use

This book explores the development of societies in Africa and how they utilised plants in the wild and then later learnt to cultivate them as they made the transition from pastoralism to farming. It also provides guidance on how to grow and use these plants effectively. Using the book will guide you in selecting what to plant, when to plant it, and how to care for it in the very important early stages of growth. Learning these skills will do much to combat the problems of malnutrition and poverty that today beset the continent that gave birth to humankind.
