Zimbabwe's agricultural revolution
In the first half of the 1980s, Zimbabwe's dramatic increase in maize and cotton production by small-scale farmers attracted international media coverage. Zimbabwe exported food for 20 of the 22 years in the period 1970-1992. This book on Zimbabwe's agricultural revolution has three main purposes. The first is to analyze the historical development of Zimbabwe's agricultural policy over the past 100 years. The second objective is to analyse Zimbabwe's second agricultural revolution that was fuelled by a rapid increase in maize and cotton production by communal farmers from 1980 to 1990. The third objective of the book is to distil the lessons of this revolution and examine whether some of Zimbabwe's approaches can be replicated by other countries in Southern Africa.
