Container Farming for The Drier Climates Mansur Dawaki

This is a book that is intended to introduce the resource-poor population in the drier climates, especially Sub-Saharan Africa to the art of growing crops, especially vegetables in containers. This is intended to improve the nutritional standards, reduce poverty and enhance food security. The book will also be of immense value to people interested in this venture around the world. The art of growing food in container is becoming a household name in developed countries and has several advantages in terms of resource utilization and environmental conservation. It is still, however, not too popular and minimally understood in Africa and other resource-poor regions of the world. This book is intended to bridge that gap and will be valuable to extension agents, women cooperatives and NGOs working to improve household food security.
