Summary:
Ce manuel analyse les approches et les méthodes qui ont prouvé leur efficacité en Afrique de l'Ouest. Tout en abordant des questions plus larges, il est centré sur le renforcement des capacités des petits exploitants à l'échelon local. Il inclut les méthodes pour une planification efficace et les outils nécessaires à la formation des producteurs. Cet ouvrage est accessible au profane ainsi qu'à tous ceux intéressés par le renouvellement des méthodes d'appui aux petits producteurs.
