The book details how a farming systems perspective can be used to pinpoint strategies for achieving household food security and reducing poverty, as well as how different strategic interventions may be required for various farming systems. Other systems covered are tree crop farming, pastoral farming, fish-based farming, forest-based farming, large-scale irrigated, arid pastoral and oasis, perennial mixed, and island as well as urban and peri-urban farming systems. The vision is that by 2030, market-oriented, diverse small farms will dominate African agriculture, linked to and supported by value addition and agro-processing by small- and medium-sized firms in value chains (Dixon et al., [1]).
