Documented in 12 case studies, these approaches draw upon greater knowledge, skill and labour input, rather than on larger, unsustainable capital expenditure, and are shown to increase yields substantially. Part 1 of the book (chapters 1-6) deals with issues for analysis and evaluation concerning sustainable agricultural development. Part 2 (chapters 7-18) presents the case studies from Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Part 3 (chapters 19-22) focuses on advancing agroecological agriculture with participatory approaches.
