This book was released on 1966 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Swamp rice offers tropical populations the most feasible means of obtaining a dependable and plentiful supply of protein-rich cereals. An acre of swamp rice land will support many persons and the crop does not cause erosion. A further production of this type of rice appears warranted in Sierra Leone and perhaps in other areas in Africa where the soils and terrain are suitable and there is enough water. This study surveys economic, political, and physical problems involved in the cultivation of swamp rice in Sierra Leone and is an interpretative research project based on information obtained by interviews and study in the field during a visit to that country. Library research was also utilized, but only for general background, because little material about swamp rice in Sierra Leone is available. In Sierra Leone agricultural reports, land surveys, and scientific articles were consulted and discussed with their authors. Interviews were held with Government Ministers, Agricultural Officers, scientists, political and economic experts, and rice growers and traders. As a result of these investigations it appears that swamp rice is an excellent crop for Sierra Leone, for it can be grown in reclaimed mangrove swamps and coastal grasslands, and does not cause erosion as does upland rice. Adequate acreage remains available for future development of swamp rice farming. The climate is well suited to rice growing, and the coastal soils are fertile. Moderate capital investment will be required for the reclaiming of the southern mangroves, the clearing of grasslands, the building of empolders to keep out salt water, the drainage of permanently-flooded swamps, and small dams or bunds for flood control on some of the rivers. The problem of land tenure in Sierra Leone, however, is a serious one. Litigation over land ownership is especially prevalent in the north where the farms are small and virtually owned by individual families. In the south rice schemes have been developed as cooperatives on unused land owned communally by the tribes. In this area the matter of individual incentive is an important consideration. Another inhibiting factor is the labor supply, which in the swamp-rice farming areas is inadequate for further land development. Newcomers are resented in local areas and, moreover, the rigors of swamp farming discourage settlement. The improving educational system has had an effect of reducing the local labor supply. High wages and prices may be the best way to encourage people to farm swamp rice. The long-run market potential for swamp rice is favorable, especially within Sierra Leone itself and in Africa. Many people in Africa are already turning to rice as a staple in their diet.

Book excerpt: This first detailed ethnographic account of the Pahang Malay people of peninsular Malaysia focuses on the society's traditional agricultural system, particularly on its specialization in the production of rice on largely unmodified natural swampland. Dr. Lambert discusses the historical development of Pahang Malay rice farming, its dependence on indigenous knowledge of local ecology, and its adaptability to adverse conditions. Farmers experimenting with cultivars, adapting new technologies to local conditions, and using their own seed selection skills have over several decades substantially improved their rice yields. Dr. Lambert suggests that well-adapted indigenous farming systems found throughout the world should be studied and the adoption of these successful agricultural practices should be encouraged by governments and development planners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scenes of starvation have drawn the world's attention to Africa's agricultural and environmental crisis. Some observers question whether this continent can ever hope to feed its growing population. Yet there is an overlooked food resource in sub-Saharan Africa that has vast potential: native food plants. When experts were asked to nominate African food plants for inclusion in a new book, a list of 30 species grew quickly to hundreds. All in all, Africa has more than 2,000 native grains and fruitsâ€""lost" species due for rediscovery and exploitation. This volume focuses on native cereals, including: African rice, reserved until recently as a luxury food for religious rituals. Finger millet, neglected internationally although it is a staple for millions. Fonio (acha), probably the oldest African cereal and sometimes called "hungry rice." Pearl millet, a widely used grain that still holds great untapped potential. Sorghum, with prospects for making the twenty-first century the "century of sorghum." Tef, in many ways ideal but only now enjoying budding commercial production. Other cultivated and wild grains. This readable and engaging book dispels myths, often based on Western bias, about the nutritional value, flavor, and yield of these African grains. Designed as a tool for economic development, the volume is organized with increasing levels of detail to meet the needs of both lay and professional readers. The authors present the available information on where and how each grain is grown, harvested, and processed, and they list its benefits and limitations as a food source. The authors describe "next steps" for increasing the use of each grain, outline research needs, and address issues in building commercial production. Sidebars cover such interesting points as the potential use of gene mapping and other "high-tech" agricultural techniques on these grains. This fact-filled volume will be of great interest to agricultural experts, entrepreneurs, researchers, and individuals concerned about restoring food production, environmental health, and economic opportunity in sub-Saharan Africa.
